Well, this is a new one.
While several notable players have withdrawn from the Olympics in recent weeks, often noting the jam-packed schedule of events this summer, Jaco van Zyl is flipping that script on its head.
In an interview with Sport 24, the South African indicated that he has withdrawn from both The Open and the PGA Championship this month in order to be at 100 percent when he plays the Olympics.
"I expect that there will be a camp that will criticize me for withdrawing from the majors, but I feel very passionate about golf's debut at the Olympics," van Zyl said.
