HOUSTON — A six-week break going into the Masters was not what Dustin Johnson had in mind. He was not expecting to test positive for the coronavirus, either, and still wonders how it happened.
Johnson did find one positive to being the most prominent golfer to recover from COVID-19. Under CDC guidelines followed by the PGA Tour, he will not have to be tested for three months.
“I know I’m playing next week at the Masters,” Johnson said Wednesday, adding that he would be “nervous for sure” if he had to wait for the test results before setting foot on Augusta National.
