10:28 AM ET 03.06 | With Rio de Janeiro preparing for golf's return to the Olympics after an absence of more than 100 years, some of the sport's top names are starting to show an interest in Brazil, especially in the opportunity to design the course that will host the historic tournament at the 2016 Games. Robert Trent Jones Jr. visited Brazil this week and secured a spot in the race to build the course, joining a field that includes Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Nick Faldo, Seve Ballesteros, Greg Norman and others.

I'm really starting to think SI is the poster of the spam. Nobody is this much of an amateur at website management.
