Adam: Leave Olympic Golf To The Amateurs

Add Adam Scott to the list of players (not) wildly excited about Olympic golf. He has a "desire" to be part of it, but that's about the extent of his passion for golf's return to the games in 2016.

Jim Tucker reports for the Courier Mail.

“People watch us (as pros) play 45 weeks a year,” Scott said.

“If you really wanted to grow the game you’d have the Olympics for amateurs.”

The defending Australian PGA champion said earlier at a private cocktail party that he has a huge regard for the Olympic ideals.

“Rio is not something I’ve thought a lot about, but it is something I have a desire to be part of,” Scott said.

Scott is headlining the Australian PGA ar Royal Pines Resort, not to be confused with Royal Portrush.
