  • Brooks Koepka memprioritaskan turnamen mayor daripada Olimpiade 2020.
  • Berbeda dengan Tiger Woods dan Rory McIlroy yang ingin tampil di Tokyo.
  • Golf sudah tiga kali dipertandingkan dalam Olimpiade.

SKOR.id – Brooks Koepka mengaku tak tertarik dengan Olimpiade XXXII/2020, Tokyo, Jepang. Tahun ini, pegolf nomor satu dunia itu memprioritaskan empat turnamen mayor dan FedEx Cup.

Dengan statusnya sebagai pemain di peringkat teratas dunia, Brooks Koepka bisa dengan mudah tampil di Kasumigaseki Country Club, venue pertandingan golf pada Olimpiade Tokyo.

Sikap berbeda diperlihatkan oleh dua bintang golf, Tiger Woods dan Rory McIlroy yang berminat tampil dalam pesta olahraga terbesar dunia itu jika kondisinya memungkinkan. 

Tiger Woods mengungkapkan keinginannya untuk berlaga di Tokyo usai meraih titel dalam Zozo Championship 2019 yang sekaligus menjadi gelar ke-82 sepanjang karier.

Pada kesempatan lain, Rory McIlroy mengatakan bakal membela Irlandia daripada Inggris Raya yang merupakan gabungan dari Irlandia Utara, Inggris, Skotlandia, dan Wales.

Empat tahun lalu, keduanya absen dalam Olimpiade XXXI/2016 Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Tiger Woods dalam pemulihan cedera, sedangkan Rory McIlroy karena alasan virus Zika.

"Olimpiade sangat baru bagi saya. Tapi, ajang ini begitu berarti bagi atlet 100 meter, pesenam, dan yang lain karena mereka harus menunggu empat tahun," kata Brooks Koepka.

"Menurut saya, golf punya kebanggaan sendiri dengan empat turnamen mayor. Selain itu, kami juga memiliki Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup, dan FedEx Cup," ia menambahkan.

"Olimpiade, walau hanya empat tahun sekali, makin memenuhi jadwal saya. Kami harus pergi melintasi negara dengan perbedaan zona waktu selama berpekan-pekan, itu sangat menyita."

Untuk diketahui, Brooks Koepka tak lolos kualifikasi Olimpiade 2016. Pegolf asal Amerika Serikat (AS) itu mengaku tak pernah membayangkan bisa meraih emas dalam ajang itu. 

Golf sejatinya bukan cabang olahraga (cabor) yang rutin dipertandingkan dalam Olimpiade. Tercatat baru tiga kali golf dimainkan dalam pesta olahraga empat tahunan tersebut. 

Olimpiade Paris II/1900, Olimpiade St. Louis III/1904, dan Olimpiade Rio. "Itu bukan mimpi saya sebagai pegolf. Saya kira, ajang ini bukan pilihan yang bagus untuk pegolf profesional,” kata Brooks Koepka.
