[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…The PGA Tour is facing concerns over the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).


Another player on the regular tour has tested positive for COVID-19. On the 1st (Korean time), the PGA Tour announced on its website that "Chad Campbell (USA) tested positive for COVID-19 and will not participate in the Rocket Mortgage Classic starting on the 2nd." This marks the third consecutive day of positive COVID-19 cases following Dylan Frittelli (South Africa) and Harris English (USA). Campbell, a four-time winner, missed the cut at last month's Charles Schwab Challenge.



Since resuming the season, which was previously suspended due to COVID-19, no players tested positive at the first tournament, the Charles Schwab Challenge. However, starting with Nick Watney at the RBC Heritage, Cameron Champ and Danny McCarthy (both USA) tested positive at the Travelers Championship. So far, a total of six players have tested positive. On the Korn Ferry (second-tier) Tour, three players?Brandon Wu, Taylor Montgomery, and Jonathan Hodge (all USA)?also tested positive on the same day.
