Adam Scott is a fan of the new team format of the World Cup of Golf - but not enough to make him play in the Olympic Games if it was used there.
At this year's tournament, starting on Thursday at Melbourne's Kingston Heath, World Cup organisers ditched the individual stroke-play used at the 2013 event.
They removed the individual component and reverted to two rounds of foursomes (alternate play) and two rounds of fourball (best ball), bringing the team component heavily into play.
At the 2013 tournament at Royal Melbourne, Scott and Jason Day combined for an Australian victory, but world No.7 Scott said it didn't feel like a team victory.
This time, he will pair with Marc Leishman after world No.1 Day's withdrawal with a back complaint.
"It was great to win but it was a shame that we didn't play one round together through the event," Scott said.
"It didn't have that team feel even though we were playing as a team so this week will be a lot more fun for Marc and I going around together all four rounds."
Scott believed the new format would reinvigorate the 58th staging of the tournament, and players would embrace it as it was a new challenge for the two-man teams.
Scott skipped the Rio Olympics, citing a heavy schedule and his preference to concentrate on the majors.
He believed the World Cup format could give the Olympics, which was four days of individual 72-hole stroke-play, more appeal.
But that didn't mean he would be there in 2020 in Tokyo.
"I think it could be a positive thing for the Olympics if they use this format but you're always going to face scheduling issues with the Olympics being in the middle of the year.
"I don't really know what the answer is for that."
