The 1904 Summer Olympics were held in St. Louis, Missouri. This was the second Olympics to include golf, but golf was dropped following the 1904 Games.
While 77 golfers participated - a major increase from the 22 who played in the 1900 Olympic golf tournament, those 77 golfers represented only two countries. Seventy-four of the golfers were American and three were Canadian.
Medals were awarded to individual men and to men's teams. There was no women's tournament in the 1904 Summer Games.
In addition, because only two countries participated, multiple teams representing different golf organizations within the United States were allowed to compete. That is how all three team medals wound up going to American teams.
Men's Individual Medalists:
- Gold - George Lyon, Canada
- Silver - Chandler Egan, United States
- Bronze - (tie) Burt McKinnie, U.S.; Francis Newton, U.S.
Men's Team Medalists:
- Gold - Western Golf Association, United States
- Bronze - Trans-Mississippi Golf Association, United States
- Silver - United States Golf Association
