Another 'COVID-19' group for the first two rounds at the Memorial Tournament

DUBLIN, Ohio – For the second consecutive week, the PGA Tour has implemented “COVID-19” groups at Muirfield Village.

At last week’s Workday Charity Open, which was also played at Jack’s Place, the Tour announced a clarification to its Health and Safety Plan that would allow players who continue to test positive for the coronavirus to compete if certain conditions are met.

According to the CDC’s symptom-based model, players who test positive but have been in isolation for at least 10 days since they first had symptoms and have gone 72 hours without any fever or respiratory issues may return to competition.
