Spanish golfer Sergio Garcia has committed to representing his country at the Rio ­Olympic Games on Wednesday as Zimbabwe's Brendon de Jonge added his name to the list of golfers ­withdrawing from the event.

De Jonge's withdrawal means that Zimbabwe's golfers will not be represented in Rio, but Spain's Garcia said he will take up his place as golf returns to the Games for the first time since 1904.

"I know there are some ­dangers but representing Spain, trying to make golf grow and becoming an Olympian are too important so I'll be at Olympics," Garcia, 36, wrote on Twitter.­

While world No.1 Jason Day of Australia and Northern ­Ireland's Rory McIlroy are among the golfers skipping the Rio Games because of concerns over the Zika virus, De Jonge said his was "truly a business decision."

"The reason for my decision is not my concern about the Zika virus. It is truly a business decision," De Jonge said in a statement to golfchannel.com.

"It would have been a great honor to play for my country."

De Jonge is currently 160th on the FedEx Cup points list and needs to finish in the top 125 at the end of the season to keep full playing rights. Competing in the Rio Games from August 5-21 would mean missing two PGA Tour events.
