It’s better and clearer to say that Golf doesn’t need to be in the Olympics. The golfers ought to have left after the tournament in Rio de Janeiro. Some of the best players in the female category include Lexi Thompson , Stacy Lewis and Gerina Piller. In the male family they include; Jordan Spieth, Bubba Watson , Rickie Fowler and Dustin Johnson who closes the category. The golfers feel bad because the International Olympic Committee has limited the number of match play elements to 60 players, 72 holes. The problem is that the eligibility of the player will only be based on world rankings. This makes many of the games stars out of course.
The players will only come out of countries which have a line of descent in golfing. The PGA schedule really puts the players off. It seems they’ll get very tired and won’t be able to enjoy their summer as expected. The tour used to start with the Classic field but due to alteration it’ll be between Bridgestone Invitational and British Opens. The Bridgestone and WCG which will take place in Akron will be two weeks after U.S Opens. Before the British Opens comes in Greenbrier will start and then the PGA Championships will come two weeks after the British Opens. The Olympics will come two weeks after the PGA tournament and Two weeks after the Olympics tournaments where FedExCup playoffs will begin.
David Lingmerth says he won’t be playing the Greenbrier though it’s one of his favorite because the schedule is far much too complicated. He’ll have to play other tournaments which aren’t his best. This won’t happen to him alone; a great deal of other top 50 players will also be affected thus leaving an expression of disgust to the Olympics.
The Classic have always had bad lucks with the weather. This includes the four day rains which happened last year and a post-sunset finish which was caused by the 2013 delay. Memorial 41 editions also suffered 71 weather delays which happened on Saturday and Sunday. This sums it all why Golf ought to forsake the Olympics Games.
