Irish Olympic golf captain Paul McGinley indicated that Rory McIlroy's decision to withdraw from the upcoming Olympics was a relatively recent change of course.
Speaking to Golf Channel's "Morning Drive," McGinley said that he learned of McIlroy's withdrawal just hours before the Ulsterman released a statement attributing his withdrawal to concerns surrounding the Zika virus.
"This was a very late decision from Rory, only in the last week to 10 days did he kind of reverse his position," McGinley said. "This is a personal decision he's come to. It wasn't one that I influenced him over.
