CHASKA, Minn. — Tiger Woods is a step closer to adding another major title to his name: Olympian.

Golf officials were thrilled by the International Olympic Committee executive board’s decision to recommend golf and rugby sevens for inclusion at the 2016 Games. The IOC assembly has the final say in October.

“Doesn’t that sound good?” defending PGA champion Padraig Harrington said earlier this week. “Imagine us being Olympic athletes. I think it would be fantastic for golf. As a golfer, I would think we have all the credentials to be Olympians.”
