Rory McIlroy withdraws from Olympic Games amid Zika fears

I would not be surprised if more big name players drop out. Just not worth the risk for these guys. You already have Adam Scott, Oosthuizen, Charl Schwartzel, Marc Leishman and Vijay Singh dropping out and Ricky Fowler contemplating skipping as well. I guess this is what happens when you put the Olympics in a third world country.

I was watching Feherty on Monday and he had McIlroy on. He talked about the Olympics and how it would be such an honor to represent Ireland and winning a Gold medal would be equivalent to winning a major. It must have been a really tough decision to decide not to attend considering Golf returns to the Olympics after a 112 year absence.
