Jordan Spieth won't 100 percent commit to Olympics

Jordan Spieth is kinda, sorta, maybe 100 percent committed to playing in the 2016 Summer Olympics. Save a potential schedule change, he'll definitely probably be in Rio in August.

Spieth is scheduled to be a part of the United States' four-man Olympic golf squad, but when asked Monday at Oakmont Country Club, site of this week's U.S. Open, why he has made the decision "for sure" to go, the world's No. 2-ranked player champ hedged.

"You're putting words into my mouth, sir," Spieth said, "but right now I am very – I said pending scheduling changes earlier. I'm not sure where I'll play next, even after this week. I mean, you just never know."

The threat of the Zika virus in Brazil has already led to one American athlete, cyclist Tejay van Garderen, opting not to go to Rio.

Though they didn't cite Zika, several of the world's top golfers, including Australia's Adam Scott (world No. 8), South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen (No. 14) and Vijay Singh, whose country (Fiji) has never won an Olympic medal, have withdrawn from competition. Scott and Oosthuizen cited scheduling and family conflicts as their reason for pulling out.

Rory McIlroy, the No. 2 player in the world, had withheld his commitment to play until only last week when he said the advice he got "has put my mind at ease and makes me more comfortable going down there knowing that, even if I do contract Zika, it's not the end of the world. It takes six months to pass through your system and you're fine."

Spieth appears to not yet be able to make a 100 percent commitment.

"Right now, I'm pretty confident with what we've heard from not only the PGA Tour but our personal outreach, and I think being an Olympian is just an absolute tremendous honor. Do I think being an Olympian outweighs any significant health threat? No. If I thought that the threat was significant, I certainly would not go.

"But based on what's come to my knowledge at this point, it seems like it's going to be an extremely memorable experience and look forward to trying to win a gold for the United States."

The 2016 Games mark the return of golf to Olympic competition for the first time since 1904. The men's golf competition is scheduled to begin Aug. 11.
