Golf at the Pacific Games

Golf has been contested at the Pacific Games since 1969 when the sport was included as one of fifteen sports at the Third South Pacific Games held in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.[1] It is a core sport on the Pacific Games program.

Men's and women's tournaments are contested by teams of four golfers per country,[2] and medals are awarded for individual and team winners. Golf has also been included in many of the Pacific Mini Games, starting with the second edition held at Rarotonga in 1985.
