Jason Day has stated his intention to make an Olympic debut in Paris this summer, after the Australian was among a batch of golfers who opted to skip the sport’s return to the Games in 2016.
Day cited concerns over the Zika virus when declaring he would not feature in Brazil and the former world No 1 did not qualify for Tokyo in 2020 amid a career slump and injury troubles. The 36-year-old has more recently enjoyed a resurgence, catapulting himself firmly inside the world top 50. He now has medals on his mind.
