#3 Adam Scott (Australia)
The Australian golfer will not be seen in the Rio Olympics. He had given an honest statement in the starting of the year that he will not be participating. He had cited his tight schedule as the only reason as to why he would be skipping the Games.
Leading to the Olympics, Scott will be playing three majors in seven weeks. Therefore, he said that he does not get to see his family that often. Hence, he will be skipping the Olympics because he will only be seeing them for six days in these seven weeks and if he had participated in the Olympics, then he would have seen them for six days in nine weeks.
The golfer’s statement before the Wells Fargo Championship also mentioned that he represents his country Australia every day of his life, and therefore, he cannot be blamed for not representing his nation at the Games. The 35-year old has won 29 professional tournaments around the world and is currently ranked number 3 in the world.
