[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…Harry Higgs (USA, photo) will not participate in the PGA Tour Houston Open.

On the 4th (Korean time), he announced, "I am unable to participate in the tournament due to COVID-19." He will enter a 10-day self-quarantine period, making it impossible to appear at the Houston Open, which opens on the night of the 5th at Memorial Park Golf Course (par 71) in Houston, Texas. Since the PGA Tour resumed in June, 14 players including Higgs have tested positive for COVID-19. Including two caddies, the total is 16 people.

Ahead of the September US Open, Sam Horsfield and Scottie Scheffler, and in October Dustin Johnson, Tony Finau (all from the USA), and Adam Scott (Australia) were also sidelined by COVID-19. Higgs turned professional in 2014 and debuted on the PGA Tour this year. He has yet to win and is ranked 100th in the world. Last month, he tied for 54th place at the Zozo Championship held in Thousand Oaks, California, and finished as runner-up at the Safeway Open in September.
