The first two Olympics since men's golf returned to the schedule were marked by a dozen players choosing to stay home. But the Paris Games don't have a Zika virus or daily testing because of a COVID-19 pandemic. And it's practically a full house for these Olympics. Only two eligible players chose not to go. One was Bernd Wiesberger. He also withdrew from the Tokyo Games. The other is Cristobal del Solar of Chile. He doesn't want to risk a week away with a chance to finally earn a PGA Tour card. In other golf news, Rocco Mediate is getting another radio show with rock legend Alice Cooper.
