Masters champion Tiger Woods has not ruled out making his Olympic debut next year if his good form continues.
Victory at Augusta last month pushed him into early contention for a place in Japan 2020.
"Would I like to play in the Olympics? Yes. I've never played and I'm not sure how many opportunities I will have going forward as I'm 43 now," he told a press conference ahead of this week's USPGA at Bethpage in New York.
"It would be a first for me. Getting there and making the team would be the tough part.
"If I play well in the big events, like I did this year, things will take care of themselves."
Woods has not played since winning his fifth green jacket as he tries to a look after a body which has undergone a number of back operations.
However, he said the mental break was more important than the physical one.
"I wanted to play at Quail Hollow (a fortnight ago) but I was not mentally prepared to log in the hours," he added.
"That's the interesting thing going forward: how much do I play and how much do I rest?
"I think I have done the leg work over the last 12 to 18 months. The body doesn't bounce back as well as it used to and I am aware of that."
