#4 Tiger Woods (USA)
Trending
Tiger Woods has been a golfing legend and is a 14-time major champion. The 40-year old golfer will not be going to the Olympics as he has been out for 11 months now due to a back injury. The golf star had an operation on his back and will not be representing his nation at the Games.
His ranking has also seen a blow as he is now ranked 615th in the world after being sidelined. The experienced golfer has also come out and said he is disappointed to see that most of the top players in golf have pulled out from the Olympics due to concerns over the Zika virus.
He also said that the Rio Olympics “deserve the best golf players”. With golf returning to the Olympics after 112 years, the American will not be able to add a gold medal to his records list. Players such as world number one Jason Day, number two Dustin Johnson, have also taken their names back.
Golf without these huge players will not have the same spark to it at Rio 2016.
