It seems each passing day brings a new golfer exiting stage left from the Rio Olympics. Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott and Jason Day are all gone. Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler are currently hedging. And Olympic golf is about to have a massive image problem when none of its stars show up to compete.

None that is except for Sergio Garcia and Henrik Stenson. Both players pledged this week to make the trek to Rio to contend for a gold medal.
