Was the Olympics golf competition ever played at Augusta National?
No
Golf returned to the Olympic Games in 2016 at Rio de Janeiro after a 112 year absence.
Interestingly golf almost returned to the Olympics two decades earlier.
After bringing the 1996 Olympics to Atlanta, Billy Payne, then the head of the Atlanta Games organizing committee, turned his attention to making golf an Olympic sport again.
He even got in contact with the then Augusta National chairman to agree that Augusta should be the host venue.
Unfortunately, due to various circumstances, the opportunity never eventuated.
In January 1993 Billy Payne withdrew his proposal.
What year was golf first played in the Olympics?
The 1900 Summer Olympics - the second of the modern Olympics - was the first Olympic Games to include golf.
- Only four countries participated in golf at the 1900 Olympics; Great Britain, France, Greece, and the United States.
- While the men’s competition was played over 36 holes the women’s event was only contested over 9 holes.
- In 1900 the Olympics was not as strong an event as it is now and many of the golfers participating did not realize they were competing in the Olympics. They thought it was ‘just’ a golf tournament.
- Both the men’s and the women’s competitions were won by participants from the U.S.
- The International Golf Federation has a good article with more information.
- An entertaining article by Bill Mallon has further information about the history of golf in the Olympics.
After a long absence, golf returned to the Olympic program for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games and has been included since.
Format
- Men's and Women's Competitions: There are separate events for men and women.
