Dustin Johnson to skip Tokyo Olympic golf tournament
Dustin Johnson, the world’s top-ranked male golfer, will not play the Tokyo Olympics, opening up a spot for another American, according to Golf Channel on Wednesday.
“I really didn’t think much about it,” Johnson said on Saturday at The Players Championship after being told about the broadcast report. “I actually didn’t really ever decide whether I was going to play or not, I just didn’t sign up. But it’s right in the middle of a big stretch of golf for me, so that was the reason I was kind of waffling on it a little bit. It’s a long way to travel.”
