Report: Brooks Koepka WDs from Travelers after caddie tests positive for COVID-19

Brooks Koepka reportedly plans to withdraw from the Travelers Championship after his caddie, Ricky Elliott, tested positive for COVID-19.

According to a Golfweek report, Koepka, Elliott and swing coach Claude Harmon III all took additional tests Wednesday after playing a Tuesday practice round with Graeme McDowell. McDowell planned to withdraw Tuesday following a positive test result for his caddie, Ken Comboy, who had not traveled to Connecticut for the event. Elliott, McDowell and Comboy all attended the funeral of a friend last week in Orlando.

Koepka, Harmon and McDowell all reportedly came back negative with their secondary tests, but Elliott - who had already tested negative for the virus upon arrival Monday - turned up positive.
