COPENHAGEN (AP) -- Golf and rugby have been approved as Olympic sports. The International Olympic Committee voted Friday to include both sports on the program for the 2016 and 2020 Summer Games.

Each sport received majority support in separate votes after presentations by leading athletes and officials. Rugby will organize a seven-a-side tournament for 12 men's and women's teams. Golf will stage a 72-hole stroke-play tournament for men and women. The vote brings the number of summer Olympic sports back to 28. There have been two openings on the program since baseball and softball were dropped in 2005 for the 2012 London Games.
