Step 1:
For win64

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.8.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz

For win32

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.8.3.linux-386.tar.gz

Result example:

[root@tutorialspots ~]# wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.8.3.linux-amd64.t
ar.gz

You can see all available files: https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/

Step 2: extract tar.gz file
For win64

tar -xzf go1.8.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz -C /usr/local

For win32

tar -xzf go1.8.3.linux-386.tar.gz -C /usr/local

Step 3: Put the export declaration in ~/.bashrc. 

export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
export GOPATH=/home/go
export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin

(use your GOPATH)

Now you can use go command:

install go centos
