Is golf considered an Olympic sport?
Golf has not been a part of the Olympics since 1904, somewhat odd seeing that it is one of the most popular sports across the globe. It took over 90 years to ever even be considered again, when back in 1996 it was yanked off the ballot. It was considered one more time almost 10 years later when the Olympic Committee decided to pull the plug again on the sport, stating that their was not enough support from the tours. So why after 100 years is PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem so adamant about trying to convince the committee that golf should be an olympic sport?
Is golf declining?
Well, over the last few years (average rounds of golf played) per year have been on somewhat of a steady decline . And so has the number of new golfers playing the game. Which worries the commissioner and rightly so, because if you don’t have enough new golfers starting to play the game and the ones you do have are not playing as much, you have a big problem. Over the past decade Tiger has made this a non-issue but with his appeal to the younger generation fading, the game of golf is desperately seeking new ways to attain some fresh new hackers. Remember, in 2016 when they plan to hold golf as a sport in the Olympics for the first time, Tiger will be 40 years old! So, Finchem seems to be trying to plan ahead and make sure he has a few back up plans once Tiger’s allure has dissolved. Not a bad idea right?
