Sorry, Friiskiwi, I have to disagree. There is exceptions: The Ryder Cup is a biannual tournament that pits teams from Europe and the United States. This is one example of the game being a team sport.

obviously you are thinking pro level golf and as makkrb says even at the pro level they play team golf.

I can see where you are coming from, but in my opinion, a team sport is where players interact with each other and against the other team during the play, helping their team mates and try to stop the opposition.

I never really thought of team sport in that way but now that I think of it they take a 'swim team' to events don't they. There are certain sports that I have always considered individual events but even athletics can be considered part of a team wether it be school based or professional. Perhaps for future reference we should be more specific as to the definition of 'team' sport
