Players pulling out of Olympics

[User62651]

I reckon these pro golfers would not like staying in The Olympic Village one little bit, too used to 5 star luxury hotels. Olympics and pro golfers just seem very odd bedfellows to me, amateurs maybe.
No one remembers the Olympic football winners or the the tennis players (Murray 2012 aside) - these are just not Olympic sports and like Rory I will be watching track and field and a bit of swimming/track cycling/diving/table tennis etc but not tennis, golf or football.

So, Tennisers are starting to pull out now - so it's not just the Golfers...

Not surprised. When you can play elsewhere for a pocket full of cash the lure of the olympics simply isn't as attractive for professionals. Make it amateur across the board
