Rory: We Have To Change Negative Olympic Golf Narrative

While reiterating his support and view that his time is now to win a gold medal, Rory McIlroy sounded like a wise elder statesman when talking about the state of Olympic golf.

From Joel Beall's GolfDigest.com report:

"It's obviously being played in Rio this year and it's being played in Tokyo in 2020. I'm not sure if we're going to have another opportunity to win a gold medal after that depending on what happens,” McIlroy said Wednesday at Quail Hollow Club. "I'm not sure if golf is going to have another opportunity to win a gold medal after that."

McIlroy later told reporters that, "If we don’t somehow change the narrative of getting people more excited about it...I’m worried."
