The next team in golf is the toughest to make for Americans - TSN.ca

Gary Woodland was runner-up twice against strong fields in South Korea and Kapalua. He won the U.S. Open. He had another top-10 finish at the PGA Championship. And it still wasn't enough to earn one of eight automatic spots on the Presidents Cup team.“That's got to be the hardest thing in golf,” said Kevin Kisner, currently No. 34 in the world and 16th among the Americans who will try to capture one of the four spots at the end of Olympic qualifying on June 22.

“Huge,” Thomas replied when asked if the Olympics were a big deal to him. “I really want to be on that team.” Woods sat out all of 2016 and the Olympics did not appear to be part of his future. And then he had fusion surgery on his lower back, won the Masters and is among the elite again. Now, the Tokyo Games have his attention, especially after winning in Japan last month.

“He spent his life training, preparing, tracking for his big moment in the Olympics,” the younger Schauffele said. “He's been pushing me along when I needed it, encouraging me, kicking me in the when I needed it. It's cool he can see the results come to fruition, which he wasn't able to see for himself. It's a special thing to share.”The Masters offers a three-year exemption to the winner of The Players Championship.

Adding to the field before the April 9-12 tournament is the Latin American Amateur Championship winner, PGA Tour winners and the top 50 in the world ranking published on March 30.Adam Scott ended the longest drought of his career at the Australian PGA Championship, and he can only hope a victory at the end of the year bodes well.

The win ended a drought of 81 starts worldwide since his last victory at Doral in a World Golf Championship in 2016.
