PGA Tour to end weekly testing for COVID-19 in late July

The PGA Tour is set to end its COVID-19 weekly testing program at the end of July, regardless of vaccination status.

Starting with the 3M Championship in Minneapolis, players will no longer need to produce a negative test before being able to compete. Only players who are unvaccinated and come in contact with a person who contracted COVID-19 will be required to be tested.

"We are pleased to announce, after consultation with PGA Tour medical advisors, that due to the high rate of vaccination among all constituents on the PGA Tour, as well as other positively trending factors across the country, testing for COVID-19 will no longer be required as a condition of competition beginning with the 3M Open," wrote PGA Tour senior Vice President Tyler Dennis in a memo to players.
