vinipereira 3,037 Posted July 9, 2016 #41 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Maybe for a change some golfer could use as an excuse the fear of getting murdered in the streets of Rio or being infected by a super bacteria in the waters of Copacabana. The zika virus "card" is getting OLD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all athlete retired by games for economical reason. In a PGA if you'll finish in 4th place you'll win a lot of money instead at Olympic Games, if you'll finish in 4th place, you will not win anything. In the PGA Tour or similar, you promote your sponsor whit clothes or similar and you receive money in return instead at Olympics you must dress whit national clothes. Those reasons are all exactly the same in basically every other sport. No, we should give golf a couple of Olympic cycles before deciding anything. Already saying it should be removed even before the first Olympics where it's back is way, way, way too early and makes absolutely no sense. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I know, but if all top athletes in the ranking reject the Olympic pass it's completly unless have the golf at the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Did they reject it for 2020 and 2024 already as well?

sanjaydas 9 Posted July 10, 2016 #46 Share Posted July 10, 2016 All these withdrawls give an outside chance to Anirban Lahiri to be in the top bracket. India should have 3 golfers at Rio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,499 Posted July 11, 2016 #49 Share Posted July 11, 2016 The 2 Dutch places in the women's competition will very likely be rejected. Van Dam's place absolutely sure, she's not even inside the world top-300 where top-100 is required (Boeljon is 121st, I guess she still has 1% chance if they make some exception).

dcro 10,172 Posted July 18, 2016 #50 Share Posted July 18, 2016 New Zealand has declined the quota of their 2nd woman.
