Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson are out, but the U.S. will still have a good shot at collecting a couple medals when golf makes its return to the Olympics next month.
Spieth, the world’s third-ranked golfer, was set to be the highest ranked player to compete in Rio. But on Monday, the last day to withdrawal, he pulled out citing health concerns. He’ll speak to the media Tuesday as he prepares for the British Open in Scotland.
Johnson, No. 2 in the world, became the first American to back out last week.
