Coed Golf to Debut as Olympic Medal Event in 2028 Los Angeles Games

Coed golf will make its Olympic debut as a medal event at the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles. This change follows a growing trend in the sport, where mixed-team formats are gaining popularity. Players and industry leaders now see collaboration as a key part of golf’s future.

The shift towards mixed-team golf has been building for years. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, golfer Lilia Vu noted the absence of a team element—something the 2028 Games will introduce. Vu and fellow competitor Tony Finau have both praised the format for encouraging partnership and shared success.

The 2028 Olympics will mark the first time coed golf is played as an official medal event. Mixed-team tournaments like the Grant Thornton Invitational suggest this format is here to stay. With rising participation among women and support from major organisations, the sport appears set for a more inclusive future.
