CROMWELL, Conn. -- In the aftermath of seven withdrawals related to the coronavirus at this week's Travelers Championship, the PGA Tour on Saturday implemented a new policy that will prohibit players from being on property while waiting for their first test result in a new city.
Very proactive. Am I using that term correctly?
Quote:
Over the past three weeks as part of its Return to Golf, the Tour has been committed to learning from an operational standpoint and adjusting protocols in place in order to mitigate risk and promote the health and safety of all involved, including players, caddies, staff and volunteers," the PGA Tour said in a statement.
Yeah, we learned we have no clue what we’re doing. It only took us three weeks and a slew of positive tests and withdrawals.
Quote:
Beginning at next week's Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club, all those considered "inside the bubble" by the PGA Tour -- players, caddies, instructors, physiotherapists and staff -- will need a negative result before being permitted on the grounds.
What about the hundreds of other people that aren’t considered essential but are humans inside the bubble? And have feelings and families and can only get and transmit the virus?
Nada!
Thoughts and prayers to the ones that have been stricken with this virus in the past and those that will get it in the future.
Oh, do you plan to explain how Webb Simpson had to withdraw due to a family member having it and a week later is able to tee it up?
Or why Jason Day wanted a test and he played alone?
Jokers.
