Australian Adam Scott has reportedly withdrawn from consideration for the Australian Olympic Team.
According to a report in Golf Digest, Scott is amongst six golfers to notify the International Golf Federation of their decision to withdraw from consideration including Brooks Koepka and Tyrell Hatton.
As it stands at this stage, Scott would not make the team as the leading two players in the world ranking from each country earn the right to play in Paris and Jason Day and Min Woo Lee ( provided they are available) are the two eligible at present.
Final selections for both the men and women fields will be made from the Official World Golf Rankings in mid June
Scott also made himself unavailable for the 2016 and 2021 Olympics, expressing disinterest in the idea of professional golf being part of the Olympic program.
Minjee Lee and Hannah Green are the two Australians currently in line for selection in the women’s Olympic team.
