We look forward to learning the outcome of the final vote at the IOC Session in September. We were always confident that golf would deliver exciting men's and women's competitions in Rio de Janeiro and even at that, it exceeded our expectations. Now, we are excited to build upon the success from last year as we prepare for the 2020 Games in Tokyo and, hopefully, beyond."
