Race for 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Golf Spots Begins; Ranking Points Accumulation Starts This Week

The world ranking accumulation to determine the participants for golf at the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics has begun this week.

According to the International Golf Federation (IGF) on June 10, Olympic golf ranking points for women's individual players began on June 8, while points for men's individual players will start on June 22. The final list of participants will be determined in June 2028, just before the Olympics begin.

The cutoff dates for confirming the participants are June 5, 2028, for women and June 19, 2028, for men.

In the Olympic tournament, which features 60 players each for the men's and women's events, players ranked within the top 15 in the Olympic rankings are eligible to compete. However, each country is limited to a maximum of four players per gender for the individual events.

A notable feature of the Los Angeles Olympics is the addition of a mixed team event.

The mixed team event, which will feature 16 teams, will be composed of one female player and one male player who have already qualified for the individual events.

The men's individual golf tournament at the Los Angeles Olympics will be held from July 19 to 22, 2028 (local time), followed by the mixed team event from July 23 to 24, and the women's individual tournament from July 26 to 29.

The venue for the tournament is the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, USA.
