SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France (AP) — Rory McIlroy has no regrets about deciding not to go to the Rio de Janeiro Olympics because of concerns over the Zika virus, saying he and other golfers do not consider Olympic golf to be the ”pinnacle” of their sport compared to playing in majors. Last week, McIlroy became one of the most high-profile sports stars to opt out of the Rio Games. ”I’ve said to people I have four Olympic Games (major championships) a year,” McIlroy said ahead of the French Open golf tournament near Paris.
