For the first time in 112 years, golf will be played at the Olympics next month in Rio, and the field of 60 male golfers was finalized Tuesday.

Among the pros representing their countries at the historic tournament is world No. 5 and newly minted Open champion Henrik Stenson of Sweden.

Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler, Patrick Reed, and Matt Kuchar will represent USA, while Masters winner Danny Willett and Justin Rose headline Great Britain's squad.

Other tour-prominent representatives include Spain's Sergio Garcia, Germany's Martin Kaymer and Canadian Graham DeLaet.

Of course, many of the game's best have pulled out of the tournament due to concerns of Zika virus, including World No. 1 Jason Day, along with Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, and Rory McIlroy among others.
