Asked Wednesday whether Atlanta should take another run at the Games to host Olympic golf at his club, Payne asked for “a lot of leeway on this answer, since I surely won’t be chairman then” and gave this response:
“As to the Atlanta Olympics, having a shot at it, it would have to be somebody else (to organize the effort) obviously. But we are building sports facilities at a rapid rate. We certainly have not lost our capability for doing it, and so I remain enthusiastic about the Games coming back to the United States. We have a candidate now. I’m very excited about Los Angeles, so we’ll see what happens.”
Payne was referring to Los Angeles’ bid for the 2024 Games, which will be determined in September.
