More details were unveiled on Wednesday regarding the PGA Tour’s “layered testing” component that will be the cornerstone of the circuit’s return to competition next week at the Charles Schwab Challenge.
Stanford Health was named the circuit’s COVID-19 on-site testing provider, with plans to deploy three testing units that will arrive at tournaments the Saturday before the first round and will remain on-site through Thursday.
The RT PCR tests that every player, caddie and many officials will be required to take when they arrive in each tournament city will take less than five minutes and the results will be returned within two to four hours.
