This Day in Golf History: August 14

Before the gold medal Olympic performances of Xander Schauffele (2020) and Scottie Scheffler (2024), it is noted that on this date in 2016 Justin Rose of Great Britain was the gold medal winner at 16 under par in the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, which marked the return of golf to the Olympics. And on this day in 1988, Jeff Sluman finished off a dream week at the PGA Championship at Oak Tree Golf Club in Oklahoma, shooting 12-under 272 to win by three over Paul Azinger.
