Dustin Johnson has decided to miss the forthcoming 2020 Olympics in Tokyo due to his PGA Tour commitments and preparations.

The United States golfer, ranked world No. 5, was expected to feature in Japan this summer.

According to Golfweek (h/t Bob Harig of ESPN), Johnson's agent, David Winkle, said scheduling issues were the reason for the decision:

"You just can't do it all, given the newly compressed schedule. Dustin and others learned a lot about themselves and what works for them last year, so I applaud him for not overextending himself and keeping his personal priorities in line.
