(Reuters) - Rory McIlroy was a bit reluctant to compete at the Tokyo Olympics but on Wednesday he said the experience changed his opinion and he is looking forward to the 2024 Paris Games.

McIlroy was initially a disinterested participant in the Tokyo Olympics, where he represented Ireland, saying he was not a patriotic guy and only doing it because he felt it was the right thing to do for the sport.
