PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said Wednesday that extra testing and stricter monitoring of protocols that could result in "serious repercussions'' for offenders will go into effect in the wake of three positive coronavirus tests this week at the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut.
Monahan said that across both the PGA Tour and the developmental Korn Ferry Tour, there have been 2,757 tests, with seven coming back positive.
"It's a low number, and it's a low number on a percentage basis. But every number hurts,'' Monahan said at TPC River Highlands, where the Travelers Championship begins Thursday.
