Tiger Woods and Luke Donald have revealed they are both relishing the opportunity to compete at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Golf returns as an Olympic sport in four years time for the first time since 1904, and Woods and Donald both want to play in the event.

Woods told reporters: "I hope I can qualify. I will be 40 by then but it would be something that I have never experienced."

Donald added: "It is exciting to have the Olympics here in London and hopefully, it is a very successful Olympics.

"Hopefully in four years, maybe I can be a part of that in Rio."

Both players were speaking ahead of the Open Championship, which started on Thursday.
