Golf is not included by the Organizing Committee in the official competition program at the 2026 Youth Olympics in Senegal from October 31 to November 13.
This Games only put into competition 25 official sports with a total of 154 sets of medals.
Golf officially appeared at the 2014 Youth Olympics in China. Following that, this sport is still in the 2018 Youth Olympic competition program in Argentina. The Vietnamese golf team has never had a slot to participate in the above 2 competitions.
We expect the current generation of athletes, especially those who have won silver medals by team and silver medals by runner-up (Nguyen Tuan Anh) at the 2025 Asian Youth Games. Unfortunately, golf is absent from the 2026 Youth Olympics, so Vietnamese sports will not have representatives competing in golf this time.
The golfers who won 2 silver medals for Vietnamese golf at the 2025 Asian Youth Games are Doan Uy and Nguyen Tuan Anh. On the world men's amateur golf rankings just announced, Nguyen Tuan Anh increased 3 places to 141st. Tuan Anh is a Vietnamese male athlete with the 2nd best position on the world amateur rankings. Ranked above this golfer is Nguyen Anh Minh (ranked 40th).
Meanwhile, Doan Uy is holding the 1677th position in the world men's amateur rankings. This young player did not participate in the recent SEA Games 33.
