Former UNLV golfer Adam Scott will not compete in the 2016 Olympics, according to ESPN.
“My decision has been taken as a result of an extremely busy playing schedule around the time of the Olympics and other commitments, both personal and professional,” Scott said in a statement released by his management company to ESPN. “I have informed the Australian team captain and relevant authorities, who are understanding of my position, and I wish the Australian Olympic team the very best of luck in Rio.”
The Australian spent a year and a half at UNLV starting in 1998 before leaving to pursue professional golf.
