IGF Anti-Doping Programme – Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games As a condition of participation of golf athletes in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, all potential Olympic golf athletes are part of the IGF Olympic anti-doping programme. The athletes will come under the IGF’s jurisdiction for the purpose of the programme as of 24 April 2020 and all athletes on the qualification lists will be part of the IGF’s Registered Testing Pool (RTP) as of this date.

These tests may be in- or out-of-competition, urine or blood.

Winkle cited the condensed PGA Tour schedule and Johnson's desire to be prepared for the FedEx Cup playoffs, which begin a short time after the Olympics, as his reasons for skipping the Games.
