A mixed-team golf event will be held at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles following approval by the International Olympic Committee executive board.
Organisers have said it will contested as 36-hole competition across two 18-hole rounds – foursomes and fourball – with a maximum of one team per country.
Teams will be comprised of one male and one female athlete from the individual men’s and women’s competitions being held at the Games.
The group event will take place in between the men’s and the women’s competitions at the Riviera Country Club.
Golf returned to the Olympics at Rio 2016 after an absence of over a century, and LA 2028 will see the first team competition since St Louis Games of 1904.
International Golf Federation executive director Antony Scanlon said: “We’re excited to bring even more attention to our sport through this additional format.
“The athletes were very enthusiastic about their desire to play with their compatriots, and we look forward to watching them compete together in Los Angeles.”
TeamGB’s Justin Rose won goldin the men’s individual event in Rio just under a decade ago while Tommy Fleetwood picked up the silver medalat Paris 2024.
Golf is one of six sports – joining archery, athletics (4x100m mixed relay), gymnastics, rowing coastal beach sprint and table tennis – to add a mixed-gender competition for LA 2028.
