Golf is back for the third consecutive Olympic Games. After being an event at the 1900 and 1904 Olympic Games, it only reappeared at Rio 2016.

As with the men, the women’s tournaments will feature 72-hole stroke play. There is no cut, so each of the 60 participating women is eligible to play all four rounds.

The women’s tournament ends on Saturday. American Scottie Scheffler won men’s gold, while Britain’s Tommy Fleetwood took silver and Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama took bronze.
