Golf took longer to return to the Olympics. Golf was reintroduced at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, after last appearing in 1904, a gap of 112 years. Rugby sevens, a variant of rugby union, also made its Olympic return in 2016, but traditional 15-a-side rugby last appeared in 1924, a gap of 92 years. Therefore, golf took longer to return to the Olympics than rugby.
