Golf will be making a comeback to the Olympic fold after a gap of 112 years, and India are well-represented, especially in the mens section of the competition. Tournament qualification rules limited a maximum of four entrants per nation among the top 15 in the world rankings, and only two more per country from the rest (provided none of them were in the top 15), and this meant both world number 62 Anirban Lahiri and world number 211 SSP Chawrasia were virtually assured of spots in Rio even before some of the top golfers started pulling out of the event. Lahiri brings experience of having won a silver in the team event of the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, while for Chawrasia, this will be his first time representing India, though he did play for the Asian team alongside Lahiri in the EurAsia Cup earlier this year under the leadership of Jeev Milkha Singh.Aditi Ashok is the only woman to have made the cut to the top 60, and the 18-year-old is in her early days as a pro on the ladies tour. She is ranked 445th at present and might find the going difficult in a field dominated by far more experienced Koreans, Americans and Swedes.The teamAnirban LahiriSSP ChawrasiaAditi AshokThe key datesAugust 11-14, 17-20?How they got thereThe golfers made the cut for the Olympics by virtue of their rankings - the cut off for which was 60.
