5. Passage Fourteen For a long time, people have disagreed about whether golf is a sport or a game. On one side of the argument, people say that golf meets the dictionary definition of a sport, because it is a physical, athletic activity. They add that golf is recognized as a sport by sporting goods companies, athletic groups, fans, and the media. Also, golf’s inclusion in the Olympics in 2016 is more proof that it is sport. On the other side, people say that golf is a game, not a sport. They say golf is not a very physical activity and can be played well by people who are overweight or injured. Also, golf was only recently added to the Olympics. For more than 100 years it was not included in the Olympic Games. For many, the Olympic Games serve as a measurement for whether an activity should be called a sport. Golf was first included in the Olympics in 1900. However, it was removed shortly thereafter because of a lack of participation and conflict with other golf events. Through the years, there were several attempts to bring golf back to the Olympics. It wasn’t until the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil that golf returned. Some say the return of golf does not prove that it is a sport. Rather, it only proves that the Olympics wanted to benefit from the star power of famous golfers like Tiger Woods. The disagreement continues today. Those who think golf is a sport point to pro-golfers like Woods, who are strong and fit. Those who disagree point to golfers like John Daly. He is a successful pro-golfer who once had health problems. So is golf a sport? The answer depends on who you ask——and whether that person owns a set of golf clubs.The author seems to suggest in the last paragraph that ( ) .
