Do you remember when you were a kid on the putting green trying to make that last putt to win the Gold Medal in the Olympics? Or maybe that putt was to win the Masters or the US Open? Apparently Adam Scott only remembers making that putt to win a major and not a gold medal, because he took himself out of contention for the Olympics earlier this week. “My decision has been taken as a result of an extremely busy playing schedule and other commitments, both personal and professional,” meaning no gold for Adam. He would have been paired with Jason Day and would have been heavy favorites to win. However, in the three weeks leading up to the Olympics there will be two majors, and the FedEx Cup starts two weeks after the Olympics is completed. It’s a busy couple months for the guys on tour. It’s only been 112 years since Golf was an Olympic sport, and now we have one of our top players in the world opting out of the chance to win the Gold. I’m not claiming to know the reason why he said he’s out, but let me put this another way and ask you this question, which would you rather win: a Gold Medal or $11 million? What do you think?
