Adam Scott Opts Out of Olympic Games
Former Masters Champion Adam Scott has dropped out of the 2021 Olympic Games.
He is the second player to pull out, following Dustin Johnson’s withdrawal about a month ago.
“With the world being the way it is, Adam is gone 4-5 weeks at a time this year during his playing blocks. With three young children at home, this time in the schedule will be devoted to family. It is pretty much the only time up until October when he has a chance to see them for a stretch of time and not only a few days/a week,” Scott’s agent Johan Elliot told Golf Channel.
Scott also opted out of the 2016 Olympic Games due to the Zika virus outbreak, and a busy schedule.
With Scott out, the front-runners to represent Australia are Cameron Smith and Marc Leishman.
Olympic golf is set for July 29-August 1 at Kasumigaseki Country Club.
