PGA Tour to ramp up COVID-19 testing at next week's Travelers Championship

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – No positive tests last week at the Charles Schwab Challenge was a testament to the PGA Tour’s Health and Safety Plan, and those protocols will be even more stringent at next week’s Travelers Championship.

The Tour’s safety plan for last week’s post-quarantine event at Colonial and this week at the RBC Heritage was for all players, caddies and Tour officials to be tested for COVID-19 when they arrived in the tournament city. But the media and most volunteers were not tested. That testing umbrella will be extended to cover all media and volunteers next week at TPC River Highlands.
