Dustin Johnson, the world  No 5, will not be competing in the Olympics in Japan this summer after deciding he would rather win the FedEx Cup than a gold medal.

The American’s decision was confirmed by his manager, David Winkle, to Golfweek in an email.

“Dustin gave the Olympics a great deal of thought and we discussed the pros and cons of him participating at length,” said Winkle.
