World number one Rory McIlroy has said that he may not participate at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
The 23-year-old will have to make the decision whether to play for Great Britain or for Ireland.
"I just think being from where we're from, we're placed in a very difficult position," he told BBC documentary Rory - Being Number One.
"I feel Northern Irish and obviously being from Northern Ireland you have a connection to Ireland and a connection to the UK. If I could and there was a Northern Irish team I'd play for Northern Ireland.
"Play for one side or the other - or not play at all because I may upset too many people. Those are my three options I'm considering very carefully."
McIlroy won the US Open in 2011 and the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island in 2012.
