COMMENT:
Dustin Johnson, one of the best golfers in the world, has decided he's not going to the Olympics because he wants to concentrate on the Fed-Ex Cup playoffs.
That there in a sentence is why sports like golf and tennis should never have become part of the world's greatest sporting spectacle.
I raise this every four years to once again fall on entirely deaf ears, but if you're new to the argument then do allow me to please explain.
What Johnson is saying, in as many words, is that the PGA Tour's mega-money-making finale is more important to him than the prospect of playing for an Olympic medal.
