Rory McIlroy?has been told true sports people rise above their concerns after the world No. 2 pulled out of this weeks Turkish Airlines Open.McIlroy has adorned posters, flyers and television commercials for the event, the first of the European Tours Final Series that will decide the outcome of the Race to Dubai, but withdrew on Sunday, describing his reasons to not play in a country which has been hit by a series of deadly bomb attacks in the past 18 months as obvious.But Ahmet Agaoglu, the president of the Turkish Golf Federation, was left surprised and confused by the four-time major champion for leaving it so late to make his decision not to travel to Carya Golf Club in Antalya.I learnt that Rory had dropped out in the media, Agaoglu told the Telegraph, before going on to praise Tiger Woods, who pulled out of the event after deciding he wasnt ready to return to competitive action.Tiger sent me an email an hour before his announcement and apologised, Agaoglu explained. He said he knew we would be disappointed but he was more disappointed than anyone.It isnt the first time McIlroy, who had been offered a £1 million appearance fee as well as the use of a private jet to fly to and from the event, has changed his plans at the eleventh hour. He also pullled out of the Olympic Games in Rio due to the threat of the Zika virus.ddddddddddddAgaoglu added: There are things happening everywhere in the world. If they are afraid of such things there is no safe place in the world.This is one of the major golfing events in Europe and I think they have to respect the sponsors because they are investing huge money. Pulling out is not the correct approach. You can be a superstar, an excellent golfer and sit on top of the rankings but to be an athlete you need something more.Id like to thank Danny Willett and Lee Westwood and the guys who are here. Over the last few months we have seen there is a lot of difference between top golfers and top athletes with some golfers missing events because of a few mosquitoes. True sports people rise above this.Westwood himself said he was disappointed.Obviously the most high-profile withdrawal was that of Rory and he brings an awful lot to a tournament, the Englishman told reporters. Hes defending the money list and hes pretty much taken himself out of that by not playing. I guess he didnt feel the way I feel about the place and the security of it all. ' ' '
