SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France -- 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.We dream of winning Claret Jugs and we dream of winning green jackets, the four-time major winner said Wednesday. Whether that makes golf look insular in any way ... its just the way it is.Last week, McIlroy became one of the most high-profile sports stars to opt out of the Rio Games.The 27-year-old Northern Irishman said this month that he and fiancee Erica Stoll may consider starting a family within a couple of years.

Thats my pinnacle. Thats what I play for. Thats what Ill be remembered for.Other golfers to pull out of Rio are top-ranked Jason Day and U.S. Open runner-up Shane Lowry; former U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell; Australian pair Marc Leishman and Adam Scott; South Africans Branden Grace, Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel; and Fijis Vijay Singh.Some people argue that it would have been better to send amateurs there, but the whole reason that golf is in the Olympics is because they wanted the best players, McIlroy said. But unfortunately with where it is this year, people just arent comfortable going down there and putting themselves or their family at risk.McIlroy added that if the Olympic Games were in most other cities ... you wouldnt find as many people not wanting to go.American cyclist Tejay van Garderen is another sportsman to cite Zika as the reason behind not going to Rio. Basketball star Stephen Curry has dropped out of the games, not specifically citing Zika but noting that other factors played a role in the decision.McIlroy thinks golf is not affected the same way.I dont think its embarrassing for the game, he said. Because most other athletes dream their whole lives of competing in the Olympics, winning an Olympic Gold, and we havent.He announced in April that he was skipping the Bridgestone Invitational to instead play at the French Open for the first time since 2010.
