I can think of a few sports that shouldn't be there ahead of a truely international popular sport like golf.

If it does get in what kind of format should they use? one on one? two man teams? four man?

Personally I think golf is an individual sport first and foremost, one player from each country and one 4 day tourney. 1-3 get the medals.

One player from each country would make Olympic golf a pretty weak tournament, considering the majority of golfers would be left out and the US "trials" would be a better tournament.

Doesn't mean that it shouldn't be in the Olympics but limiting it to one person from a country would really impact the quality of the tournament.
