Not really. He's considering to pull out because he needs points and going to Rio means missing two PGA tournaments. He did mention zika saying that he knows the risks are minimal but it stills could affect a theoretical baby he and his wife are trying to look for but his PGA card is the main reason by far.

Yep. Tbh, it would really piss me off if he had used zika as an excuse. The stuff he mentions about it it's no different from the goverment warnings (we have it too) but while I don't care if an European or Australian throws Brazil under the bus out of assholery and/or misinformation it would really be a shitty thing for a fellow South American to do. So, at least I can respect he was honest about his reasons unlike some others.

Spieth using the zika excuse, didn't read about the rest. He can stick his golf clubs where the sun doesn't shine with his excuse.
