Bubba tops men's entries; Ko heads women's field

American Bubba Watson and Swede Henrik Stenson head an Olympic men's golf field that has been decimated by withdrawals but nonetheless still includes a decent list of world-class players.

On the women's side, an almost full-strength lineup will include world No 1 Lydia Ko of New Zealand and No 2 Brooke Henderson of Canada.

The Olympic qualification period for Rio, based on the world rankings, ended on Sunday and the International Golf Federation subsequently submitted the 60 male and 60 female qualifiers to their various national Olympic bodies for official ratification.
