Go out and golf for the next 20 years and see if you can start pulling in the scores that the pros do. Outta the millions and millions of golfers out there less than 0.5% are good enuff to make the best. Anything that has results like that and includes some form of physical activity is a sport.

The GAME is that world-class athletes --all good at different SPORTS--COMPETE for medals, and future endorsements.

I would have to say yes, since it is a competition to see who wins.
