Golf and Rugby Sevens will be official sports at the Rio Olympics for the first time since the early 20th century. Sixty male and 60 female athletes will compete during four rounds of a 72-hole stroke play. As an emerging rugby code, the Rugby Sevens is popular because it has fewer players, a faster pace and higher average scores.
