Koepka's Non-Committal Olympic Commital Sounds Like He's Committed To Passing

And now the world No. 1 sounds less than excited about Olympic golf.

From G.C. Digital on Brooks Koepka not exactly giving the impression Olympic golf is even 10th on his priority list this year.

 “It just all kind of depends on how you feel, how your body feels,” Koepka told reporters. “To me, the four majors are definitely more important for me. The FedExCup, too. That’s a goal of mine. We’ll see where everything else falls.”

Coupled with Dustin Johnson also sounding uninspired, this is a reminder of the format’s fatal flaw as an individual competition: players on the fence will not be letting teammates down.

Anticipating the stress of a condensed major season, some arm twisting to play the WGC in Memphis and of course, the playoffs, it is hardly a surprise that an appearance fee-free trip to Japan falls down the list of tournaments to play for players who generally play limited schedules as is.
