World number 7 and US PGA Tour FedEx Cup leader Adam Scott today
announced that he is unavailable for selection for the Australian
Olympic Golf Team in 2016.

"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," said Scott.

"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."

Adam’s upcoming competitive events include the Wells Fargo Championship (May 5-8) followed by The Players Championship (May 12-15).
