SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France (AP) -- Rory McIlroy has no regrets about deciding not to go to the Rio de Janeiro Olympics because of concerns over the Zika virus, saying Olympic golf is not the ''pinnacle'' of the sport compared to playing in majors.
Last week, McIlroy became one of the most high-profile sports stars to opt out of the Rio Games.
The 27-year-old Northern Irishman said this month that he and fiancee Erica Stoll may consider starting a family within a couple of years. Zika is a mosquito-borne virus which has been linked to severe birth defects and possible neurological problems in adults.
