HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – There has been plenty of speculation that not every player who qualifies for this year’s Olympics will play, and now the event has officially lost a player.
Vijay Singh informed Olympic officials in Fiji that he will not participate in the event, which will be played in Brazil from Aug. 11-14.
“The timing of it, you know I have to focus over here [on the PGA Tour]. I would like to play the Olympics, but the Zika virus, you know and all that crap,” Singh said on Tuesday at the RBC Heritage.
