TROON, Scotland -- Golf waited 112 years to get back into the Olympics. Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Rosse . The top four players in the world are waiting a bit longer.Jordan Spieth delivered the final blow Monday when he told the International Golf Federation he would not be going to Rio next month, leaving the sport without its four highest-ranked players who have captured six of the last eight majors.IGF President Peter Dawson said Spieth cited his concern over health issues for withdrawing.All have indicated support for 2020 in Tokyo.Jason Day, Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy previously withdrew, all citing the Zika virus. Day and Johnson have said they plan on having more children, while McIlroy is engaged and said he would soon be starting a family.Eighteen eligible men, based on Mondays world ranking, withdrew from the Olympics.The women only had one player withdraw, Lee Anne Pace of South Africa, due to Zika concerns.The men will have eight of the top 15 in the world in Rio. The women will have the top nine in the world; Ha-Na Jang at No. 10 is not eligible because South Korea already reached its maximum of four players.There is no doubt that the number of withdrawals hasnt shed golf in the best light, and we have to accept that, Dawson said. But we do understand why these individual decisions have been taken. Personally, I think theres been something of an overreaction to the Zika situation, but thats for individuals to determine, and theres certainly a great deal of concern about this issue inside the game of golf, no doubt about that.Spieth was playing a practice round at Royal Troon for the British Open when the IGF held its news conference to announce who qualified. Spieth was not expected to speak until Tuesday. When he finished his round, he went back toward the gallery to sign autographs, and then walked across the front of the 18th green to the other side toward the parking lot.Golf pulled out all the stops to get back into the Olympics, presenting on video the support from some of the best players in the world at the time -- Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Lorena Ochoa, Suzann Pettersen -- when it was voted onto the program in 2009.Spieth was among the most enthusiastic until about a month ago when he joined others in expressing concern about Zika, security and other issues facing the Rio Games. He was said to be torn about playing until deciding Monday morning not to go.Losing the top four could be a big setback for mens golf and its bid to stay in the Olympics. It is assured of being part of the Tokyo Games in 2020, but the International Olympic Committee votes next year on whether golf and other events stay beyond that.Dawson said he felt certain the IOC would consider all things Rio when it meets next year.Were always concerned, but were working damned hard to put our best foot forward, he said. We have a lot of professional people in golf, and you can guarantee the sport will be shown in its best light.NBC Sports Group Chair Mark Lazarus called the withdrawals surprising and disappointing on Monday. The sports return to the Olympics, which NBCUniversal networks broadcast in the U.S., offered a showcase for its Golf Channel.Lazarus noted the number of top players who will still be there and said we expect a great competition.Other players who were eligible but not listed among the 60-player field were Victor Dubuisson of France, K.T. Kim of South Korea, Matt Jones of Australia and Hideto Tanihara of Japan. All of those countries still have the maximum two players in Rio. Countries are allowed up to four provided they are within the top 15 in the world.For the women, Gerina Piller tied for eighth in the U.S. Womens Open on Sunday, enough to move the American up one spot to qualify. She will join Lexi Thompson and Stacy Lewis for the U.S. South Korea was the only country for the women with four players, all among the top nine.Spieths spot went to Matt Kuchar, who only moved to No. 15 in the world ranking by making a 12-foot birdie on the final hole of a World Golf Championship in Ohio two weeks ago. The other Americans will be Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler and Patrick Reed, who replaced Johnson.No other country had more than two players for the men.The Olympics will be represented by 34 countries in the mens and womens events, with a total of 40 countries in both events.The men have 15 of the top 50 in the world, with the lowest-ranked player at No. 321 (Gavin Kyle Green of Malaysia). The women have 24 of the top 50 in the world, with the lowest-ranked player at No. 446 (Cathryn Bristow of New Zealand).Its certainly disappointing that weve had so many withdrawals on the mens side, and wonderful that all of the women have been very supportive, Dawson said. What Im hoping is that when we come to play in Tokyo in 2020 that the top players do support Olympic golf. ... Its the biggest grow-the-game opportunity available, and we need grow-the-game opportunities.And I cant think of a better way for players to give back to the game, frankly, than to support Olympic golf.

LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St. NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Denver Broncos find themselves in catch-up mode in the mighty AFC West, and time is starting to run out for the defending Super Bowl champs to gain ground on Oakland and Kansas City.We understand this stretch, where were at and how well were going to have to play, but were excited and looking forward to it, Denver coach Gary Kubiak said.For the Tennessee Titans, hosting the Broncos on Sunday is the biggest game this franchise has played in years.Yes, really.The Titans (6-6) share the AFC South lead with both Houston and Indianapolis, a spot Tennessee hasnt held this late in a season since 2008 when winning the division wire-to-wire for the teams most recent playoff berth.The Titans have had four chances to climb above .500 this season and lost each time. Now they are well-rested coming off their latest bye in franchise history, and linebacker Brian Orakpo believes everyones refreshed and ready to chase a playoff berth after finishing the 2015 season with the No. 1 overall draft pick.Theyre fighting for a position, and were fighting for a position, Orakpo said. Its definitely going to be a great game.The Broncos are working through the NFLs toughest finishing stretch after their overtime loss to Kansas City and a 20-10 win in Jacksonville last week, and now they hit the road again.Then it gets really challenging with a visit from New England before Denver goes to Kansas City and wraps up the season hosting Oakland.We know were going to have to play really, really well, Kubiak said. Well, were going to have to play great if were going to get there, and we know that.Here are some things to know as the Broncos and Titans chase a playoff berth:WHOS AT QB: Kubiak is hoping Trevor Siemian is back after missing the Jacksonville win with a left mid-foot sprain. Rookie Paxton Lynch, who played collegiately at Memphis, got his first career win against the Jaguars, but completed only half his passes for 104 yards.Siemian threw for a career-high 386 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the 30-27 overtime loss to Kansas City. Kubiak said they will have both quarterbacks ready to play Sunday.MARIOTA STREAKING: The Titans have no such questtions at quarterback with Marcus Mariota a big reason why they have won five of their past eight games. Yeezy 700 V2 Geode Italia. He has set a franchise record in throwing at least two TDs in each of the past eight games, and he has thrown 21 TDs with just three interceptions in that span. Mariota leads the NFL with a 117.7 passer rating and the Titans lead the NFL in scoring an average of 30.8 points per game since Oct. 6.I think the same Mariota you saw in college, thats the same quarterback youre seeing now, Broncos linebacker Von Miller said.Its rare that you find a quarterback that has that success in college and continues to have the same type of success in the National Football League. Mariota, hes doing it.GET THE BALL: The Broncos have scored a league-high 103 points off turnovers and will test Mariotas improved ball security. Opponents scored five TDs earlier this season off the Titans quarterbacks interceptions and fumbles, but the Titans have not turned the ball over even once over the past three games.DEFENSIVE SHOWDOWN: Denver has the NFLs stingiest defense against the pass, giving up just 192.7 yards per game. But the Broncos will have to find a way to slow down DeMarco Murray, the leagues second-best rusher. The Titans rank third in the league in averaging 141.5 yards per game with run defense a big issue for Denver, which is 28th in allowing 122.8 yards per game.Titans coach Mike Mularkey said Denver defensive coordinator Wade Phillips is too smart not to be ready to stop the run. And well be ready to throw it against their No. 1 pass defense, Mularkey said.THIN BACKFIELD: Running back Justin Forsett, 31, was claimed off waivers Monday from Detroit and is expected to play in Tennessee. The Broncos have three running backs on injured reserve with Kapri Bibbs the latest after spraining his left ankle in Jacksonville. The Titans are giving up just 92.3 yards rushing per game, seventh in the NFL.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL .---Follow Teresa M.
