They’ll play a golf tournament this week, beginning Thursday at TPC River Highlands, although there were moments on Wednesday when the world seemed to be spinning more rapidly than usual and it looked like the Travelers Championship might not go on.
Wednesday was not your typical day before a PGA Tour event at the Travelers, where four players withdrew as a result of COVID-19, adding to the Tuesday withdrawal of Cameron Champ, who tested positive for the virus.
None of the four players who withdrew Wednesday, however, actually tested positive for coronavirus.
Three of them — Graeme McDowell, Brooks Koepka and his brother Chase — withdrew because of caddies testing positive (McDowell’s and Brooks’). And the fourth, Webb Simpson, winner of the RBC Heritage Championship on Sunday, withdrew because a family member of his contracted the virus. (NYPost)
