Adam Scott May Not Play Olympics, Criticizes Format

MELBOURNE, Australia — Adam Scott reiterated on Wednesday that he's no certainty to play at the Rio Olympics next year if he qualifies, and also was critical of organizers for not including a team event.

Scott, who begins play in the Australian Masters on Thursday at Huntingdale, is in line for Olympic selection alongside Jason Day in Australia's men's team when golf returns to the Olympics next August for the first time since 1904.

"I've been pretty open and outspoken that it's not really a priority of my scheduling next year which is based around the majors, and if the Olympics fits in then it does," Scott said Wednesday.
