Golfer Vijay Singh has revealed he will miss the golf tournament at this summer's Rio Olympics due to the Zika virus.

The Fijian golfer wants to continue to work on his game on the PGA Tour rather than head to Brazil as golf returns to the Games.

Singh said he feels bad as he wanted to play and finally decided against it.

Zika, transmitted by mosquitoes, is spreading rapidly in the Americas.

The Rio Olympics takes place from August 5 to August 21.
