If last week’s Bermuda Championship was any indication, the PGA Tour is lagging behind other professional sports leagues in COVID-19 vaccinations. This could become an issue next year for international players, with the onset of new travel restrictions to enter the United States.
Players and caddies were informed in the most recent “Greensheet” that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will start requiring foreign players and caddies to be fully vaccinated to enter the United States starting on Nov. 8.
“The Policy allows for very limited exemptions. Please note that the PGA Tour is not considered exempt from this policy,” the Tour memo read.
