A number of top players, including Ireland's world number four Rory McIlroy, have decided not take to part in the tournament at Rio 2016.
He is part of a long list of leading golfers to withdraw which also includes his team-mate Graeme McDowell, South Africans Branden Grace, Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel, Australia’s Marc Leishman and Adam Scott and Fiji’s Vijay Singh.
Another Australian, the world number one Jason Day, has also admitted that he may withdraw.
