[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…A player and caddies on the PGA Tour's Korn Ferry Tour (2nd tier) tested positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

According to the Associated Press on the 11th (Korean time), "Ahead of this week's PGA Tour and Korn Ferry Tour events, 1,559 COVID-19 tests were conducted," and "Among them, one Korn Ferry Tour player and three caddies tested positive." The PGA Tour office did not disclose the names of the players who tested positive. They will be quarantined for at least 10 days and must test negative twice before resuming tour activities and returning to the field.

Despite the positive COVID-19 cases among players and caddies on the Korn Ferry Tour, the tournament is planned to proceed as scheduled. The PGA Tour suspended the 2019/2020 season schedule from mid-March due to COVID-19. The regular tour will resume with the Charles Schwab Challenge, starting on the night of the 11th at Colonial Golf Club in Fort Worth, Texas, USA, while the Korn Ferry Tour will restart the season with the Korn Ferry Challenge held at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, USA during the same period.
