Due to the number of sports taking place at the Olympics, and the BBC's obligation to show all of them, golf won't get a great deal of coverage on the main terrestrial channels.

The schedule isn't set in stone but come the weekend when the conclusion is nearing, if team GB's Danny Willett and Justin Rose are in contention it will be shown live on either BBC 1, 2 or 4.
When the golf is on you will be able to watch it no matter what.
The BBC will show live coverage on your TV behind the red button and will also feature highlights in their end-of-day wrap-up programme.
Another great way of watching is on the BBC Sport website where they'll have a live stream covering the moment the day's first tee shot is hit right up until the final ball finds the bottom of the cup on the 18th.

He manages the Golf Monthly news team as well as our large Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. He covered the 2022 Masters from Augusta National as well as five Open Championships on-site including the 150th at St Andrews. His first Open was in 2017 at Royal Birkdale, when he walked inside the ropes with Jordan Spieth during the Texan's memorable Claret Jug triumph. He has played 35 of our Top 100 golf courses, with his favourites being both Sunningdales, Woodhall Spa, Western Gailes, Old Head and Turnberry. He has been obsessed with the sport since the age of 8 and currently plays off of a six handicap. His golfing highlights are making albatross on the 9th hole on the Hotchkin Course at Woodhall Spa, shooting an under-par round, playing in the Aramco Team Series on the Ladies European Tour and making his one and only hole-in-one at the age of 15 - a long time ago now!
