What they say

"I'm looking forward to playing at an Olympic Games. I failed to stand on the podium at the Youth Olympics in Nanjing in 2014, but the experience was unforgettable. On the PGA tour, there are matches week after week and you have time to adjust if you fail at one tournament. But at the Olympic Games, if you lose you have to wait another four years. We have three years to make ourselves ready for Tokyo, physically and mentally."

Dou Zecheng, 20, one of the first Chinese players to earn a PGA Tour card, along with Zhang Xinjun

"I now spend most of my time training young players. I hope I can use my years of playing experience to make a contribution to the sport. After golf's inclusion in the Olympics and Chinese players' success at last year's Rio Games, there is a growth spurt in our kids and youths starting to play golf. I'm confident more Chinese players will have success on the international stage."
