Golf as an Olympic Sport

Golf champions are boasting smaller numbers than ever before - both in age and in scores! Rory McIlroy and Yani Tsang are great role models for junior golfers of all levels. We are already witnessing an increase in countries and federations investing in the development of their best talent, and several young golfers are currenlty being incubated in programs here at Club Med Academies. We are anticipating a huge "coming out party" for these players at the 2016 Olympics in Brazil. According to Don Law, head of Club Med Academies Golf: "The recent decision to include golf as an Olympic sport will be an incredible catalyst for the resurgence of the game of golf. The impact on Junior Golf alone will be phenomenal. Club Med Academies Golf is positioned to help juniors train at the highest level and prepare for the 2016 Olympics."
