Japan's Hideki Matsuyama announced Sunday that he has withdrawn from the Olympics over concerns surrounding the Zika virus.
Matusyama, ranked No. 16 in the world, earned his second PGA Tour win earlier this year at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. He becomes the sixth top-20 player to withdraw from the Olympics, joining Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott, Branden Grace and Louis Oosthuizen in skipping a potential spot in Rio.
"Although I am excited that golf is returning to the Olympics and I realize that my potential success would help grow the game in Japan, I have come to the conclusion that I cannot put myself or my team member's health at risk," Matsuyama said in a statement.
