Rio 2016 organizers are facing an unexpected challenge to deliver the first Olympic golf tournament in more than 100 years because of a legal dispute over the land where the historic course is supposed to be built. The dispute could force city officials to have to find a new location, meaning the project would have to start from scratch and organizers could have problems getting the course ready in time for test events in 2015 as initially planned.
