GolfSpy Barbajo Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 So Rory says he's not going play golf in the Olympics - it's the Zika virus thing. What do you think of his decision? What do you think of Olympic golf in general? Rory McIlroy is out of the Olympics and has released a statement.https://t.co/fb6XPGTzwa pic.twitter.com/ywdvYFNExq— GolfPunkHQ (@GolfPunk_Mag) June 22, 2016 What's in the bag: Driver: TSR3; DynaPWR Carbon FW Wood: DynaPWR 3-wood; TSR 2+ Hybrids: PXG Gen4 18-degree Utility Irons: ZX MkII 20* Irons:; 699/699 Pro V2 Combo; D9 Forged; MT86 (coming soon!); VIP 1025 V-Foil MB/CB; Wedges: RTX6 Zipcore Putter: HB Soft Milled 10.5; Newport Special Select; Willamette, BB8; 8802; MATI Monto Ball: Tour B RXS; Z-STAR Diamond; Triad Stat Tracker/GPS Watch: Follow @golfspybarbajo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattF Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I think if the Olympics were anywhere in Europe, Oceania or North America, you wouldn't see the amount of guys pulling out as you do now.

Peterpc2828 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hey those guys have the ability to make their own schedules and play whatever events and tournaments they like, I'm sure Rory will not be the only one. My thing is why are not the best armatures from each country not the ones playing, sorry I'm not a fan of professional athletes such as NBA/ PGA stars playing in the Olympics Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire event is challenged severely and it has not even started. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy mobile app That's certainly possible but also I think certain segments of the athlete population there may be more prone to exposure to Zika than others. On a golf course (and I haven't seen the Rio course) there are water hazards and other wet areas that can be breeding grounds for mosquitoes. So a golfers risk for exposure could be higher than say a track and field athlete. But that said the game is too lucrative for the top guys to want to give up 2 weeks to want to go play for free somewhere. Yes, even if its for their country.

chershey Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 If the Zika Virus is the real reason, it's understandable. He doesn't want to infect this fiancé or even take any chances on that. I think I would enjoy golf in the Olympics much more if only the top amateurs could compete. We would learn a lot about them and find out who some of the future stars on the US and European might be. I'll still watch it obviously because it's golf and I love it any level but I think they're going about it all wrong.

JAGolfore Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I agree with you guys above, this needs to be an amateur event. Bring the best from each country and have it be ryder cup style matches. Having the pro's play in the Olympics does not interest me. They have a busy summer and this only adds to it. Make is an amateur event for 2020.

hckymeyer Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Quick side note first. It doesn't bother me at all to have pro playing, but I do think it should be a team event. It doesn't need to be another Ryder cup or Presidents cup, but I think it would be much more entertaining to watch as a team event with some type of alternate shot, best ball, scramble type of format. Change it up a little bit to help make it not just another tournament. As for Rory and the others who've already announced not wanting to play, I'm just fine with that. If I was about to start a family and there was a higher likely hood of my children being born with medical issues because I chose to play golf in a certain location. You can guarantee I would not be playing. It's not even a question. Driver: SLDR w/ Fujikura Ventus Black 3w: '16 M2 hl w/ Diamana D+ 82 5w: Launcher HB w/ HZRDUS Yellow Hybrid: 22 deg.

Kenny B Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 The Olympics used to be the best amateurs in the world, but then countries supported their amateurs so they became "pay-to-play" and no different than pros. Now, what do the Olympics represent? The best in the world?? Only if everyone shows up. With athletes canceling out, the gold medal goes to the best athlete who decided to attend, and it now means nothing. #tarnishedgold “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undershooter Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I have zero problem with him not playing. I don't think I would be playing either thanks to the conditions down there. If it weren't for that then I think Rory would play. He's talked before about how loves events like that where he represents something bigger and said that means more to him than anything. He has all the money he'll ever need and he's said he doesn't care about that either and I believe him. Also, I don't mind the pros playing but I also wouldn't mind seeing an amateur event as well. What would be really cool, is if there would be small amateur teams lead by a Pro. Say 5 person team with 4 ams and 1 pro or something of the sort. I think that would offer the best of both worlds. I do enjoy team events because your not just playing for yourself, your playing for the betterment of the group.

jlew2144 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Heard on the news yesterday that the transit system they've built for the Olympics will not be ready to test on time. The first time they fire it up could be with people on it, and they're concerned about safety. So you've got Zika, buildings built for the Olympics already crumbling and shifting, water issues for the water sports and possible transit issues. Way to go Rio!!! As other's have mentioned I don't blame Rory for backing out, nor any of the other athletes who've withdrawn. It is a shame though, because as Kenny B mentions above, it's supposed to be about crowning the best in the world, not the best that's willing to risk their health to show up.

PlaidJacket Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I'm not a fan anymore of the Olympics. IMHO it's gotten too political over the past 20 years or so. I think golf could have made a better choice to reintroduce it to the games. Rio is a train wreck and staging the Olympics there made the place even worse. If I were a PGA golfer I'd decline too.

McaseyM Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Bringing golf back in the year where the host country has no courses it following was stupid, it's a waste of half of the trial to see it it'll stay.
