Adam Scott stays cool on golf’s Olympic future

Adam Scott is delighted that this week’s World Cup of Golf has returned to a more traditional team event but the Australian remains opposed to any future participation at the Olympics.

The primarily individual format used at the last edition in 2013 has been jettisoned in favour of a two-player team event for this year’s 72-hole tournament, starting at Melbourne’s Kingston Heath today.

The first and third days of 28-nation competition will see the teams compete in alternate shot play while the second and final days are best ball.
