Curiosity: Rory McIlroy is a Northern Ireland Golfers but in Rio he will play for Ireland and not for GB because at amateur level Northern Ireland golfer play under all-Ireland banner in team events and he said the played for Ireland at junior level and at amateur level and he will play for Ireland in Rio because it's a continuation of what has always been.

Obviously Rory is one of the most favourites to win a medal in Rio
