    DJ has come out and said he won’t be playing in Olympics this year. Travel as part of the reason as British open a few weeks before and wgc week after it. Is this the start of it again like Rio?

    Golf has four majors every year. The tournament they call the fifth major is on this week. You've got the WGC events, the invitationals and the Fed Ex Cup and race to Dubai and I'd imagine winning any of them would be more appealing than winning an Olympic games tournament for most.

    Exactly. Golf shouldn’t be next nor near the Olympics unless it’s for the amateurs. An Olympic medal will never be as prestigious as a Major, WGC or The Players.

    A friend of mine is involved with swimming. His definition of what sports should be included in the olympics is perfect. If the olympic medal is the number 1 prize in your sport, then the pros should be in the olympics (this would be the vast vast majority). If it is not (e.g. Soccer, golf, rugby) then it should be amateur only.
