The US would dominate

There are plenty of countries that could compete

Especially if each country was limited to 3 or 4 players. A few in particular that come to mind for future are Australia, South Africa, Great Britain, Sweden, Spain. There are a LOT of great international players in golf and there's no reason why a team event couldn't be easily integrated into what they had this year.

Watch the Ryder Cup lately? *

The Olympics doesn't allow entire continents to group up *

They need to in order to make the following sports better

Men's Basketball
Women's Basketball
Women's Gymnastics

Probably some others that we don't dominate like Table Tennis

The fact that the USA would probably win a team gold medal in golf is no reason not to have the event. There's several team events that are more one-sided.

Team North America would be one hellacious hockey team. *

Didn't they do North America vs Europe for NHL all-star?

I remember I had those teams on my NHL99 video game

Of course they don't

My point was that American golfers haven't exactly excelled in team match play formats as of late.

The European teams may not be as strong when they're divided up by country, but I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that the US would dominate a team format.

Perhaps, but, when the Ryder was USA vs. UK, the

matches became so one-sided that the format was changed.

I doubt that

Depending on the size of the team (I'd advocate for fewer than the big team events in golf) several countries could field top talent and battle it out for 1 medal each.

If 3 Americans win the only 3 medals being awarded that won't go over well.
