Many people are fond of golf. Whether it can become an Olympic sport depends on qualifications, players, venue and other factors.

For example, qualification issues. The "Olympic Charter" revised in December 1999 stipulates that only sports that are widely practiced in at least 75 countries or regions and 4 continents for men, and at least 40 countries and regions and 3 continents for women, can be included in the summer Olympic Games events. Golf has become popular among Western countries, but in developing countries, it is just a money-burning aristocratic sport.

In addition, there are also restrictions on bonuses. With millions of dollars in prize money at each event, Olympic medals may not necessarily attract top players to participate. For example, some famous players are indifferent and believe that "the Olympics is for medal competitions, not for bonuses."

As for whether professional golfers are willing to participate in the Olympics, bonuses are the most important bait. For the Olympics, golf will truly return to the Olympics only when the Olympic golf competition represents the highest competitive level in the world. ?

There is also the issue of players. Many top professional golfers are not willing to participate in the Olympics. For example, Tiger Woods said, "For professional players, which one is more important, Olympic gold medal or Grand Slam championship?" More importantly, it is obvious that they will choose the latter. "Once this happens, the standard and enjoyment of Olympic golf competitions will be greatly reduced, and sponsors will also withdraw. Olympic golf would have no future if only amateurs competed.

Finally, there is the issue of venue. If golf is added to the Olympic Games and the host cities are constantly rotated, top-notch golf courses will be built in the world. Problems will also ensue. Golf courses may bloom all over the country. For countries with large populations and shortage of cultivated land, such as China and India, It is unrealistic for China to carry out large-scale construction projects for golf projects.

There are few popular golf courses in developing countries. In the impression of ordinary people, golf is a high consumption.
