The White House has eased travel restrictions for players, caddies and other essential personnel entering the United States to compete on the PGA Tour.
Players were informed late Friday via e-mail that the move is based on groups who are “subject to COVID-19 testing and screening through the Tour’s rigorous health and safety protocols throughout a tournament week” and that they won’t be subject to the current 14-day quarantine period.
The timing of the move is crucial for players with two of the season’s biggest events scheduled for the next two weeks – the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational and the PGA Championship.
