PGA Tour pro Paul Casey 'sick of it,' gets vaccine shots in effort to 'get back to normal'

PALM HARBOR, Fla. -- Paul Casey is unsure how all of his peers will handle the situation, but he said he's happy that the PGA Tour has instituted a policy that will allow him to forego COVID-19 testing if he is fully vaccinated.

The 43-year-old Casey, the two-time defending champion of the Valspar Championship, has had both vaccine shots in Arizona, where he lives.

It means the next time he plays a PGA Tour event, he will no longer need to get a negative result from a COVID-19 test.

"I'm still worried about international travel coming up,'' Casey said Wednesday at the Innisbrook Resort, where the Valspar Championship begins Thursday.
