The format sucks

I don't understand why they couldn't have tried to make it a team event, rather than individual stroke play.

So if I'm in 20th place at a normal Tour event, I know I can shoot 65 on Sunday and jump up the leaderboard. I probably won't win, but I get a pretty good paycheck.

In the Olympics, they're basically only "paying out" three spots. Anyone outside the top-10 probably has no chance at a medal.

A team match play format would have been much more enjoyable.
