The appearance of the double post isn't that unusual. Being 2 1/2 hours apart is hard to figure out.

It was that important I had to post twice.

Odd. Can a mod remove please.

Sports Illustrated, Golf.com and the rest of the MSM are months behind me.

Yes!

They should have added an entertainment factor.

Instead we are left with who tested positive this week.

Denny McCarthy come on down..... I actually never heard of him before today.

Ig golfnutt is correct by the time they get to Memorial the course will look like the Jonestown massacre at the end of the tournament.

Two players actually. One may have escaped being tested positive.

Thoughts and prayers.

It's ok, all 3 players in that group are pretty expendable.

Lololol.

What testing? What safety protocols?

Aren't they testing everyone once they get to the tournament site? This is the 2nd negative test who tested positive just a couple days later, after they started feeling symptoms.

Makes me think the testing is not really reliable enough. That's 2 positive players who were allowed to enter and play in events out of 3 weeks. Not great.

My understanding is it takes a couple days to get the test results. So I think someone could do a test on Sunday, have the result show negative on Wednesday, do another test Wednesday, tee it up on Thursday and Friday, and then have see a positive result on Saturday.

They test on arrival. It takes a couple of days to get results. During the wait time, you get to practice at the course. That is the only test they do. And they only test 40% of people. They aren’t testing volunteers at all.

When they do their contract tracing testing, they used a rapid test which is highly inaccurate.

I suspect the majority got it playing in South Carolina and we are continuing to see the fall out.

They have a horrible safety protocol. Truly abysmal. They have brainwashed their players that they’re doing a good job. The positive tests are their fault. If the social distance they are fine.

Very unprofessional for a professional sports organization.

Jason Day just requested a test... watch out

He tested negative.

Starting next week players and caddies will not be allowed inside the bubble until after their test comes back negative.

An extended 10 minute interview with the Commish just now on GC. Kudos to Monahan for being proactive and adaptive as the season gets up to speed. He deserves an A+ for his leadership thus far.

Will golfnutt agree with this assessment? The world waits to find out. 🤔

I just wonder the rate of false negatives with these tests. Watney and McCarthy both tested negative on Tues and then positive on Friday. In both cases the only reason they got re-tested was because they felt symptoms.

Unless they got infected between Tues and Thurs/Fri when they started feeling ill (highly unlikely because there is an incubation period before symptoms), that would indicate the Tuesday tests were false negatives.

It will be interesting to see what happens next week.

Proactive?

Seriously wtf. You have ntnBO nearly having to fill out the field. You have onesomes.

Worst commissioner in sports history.

Last week

Today

How does he go from a family member has it and he needs to withdraw immediately and quarantine per CDC guidelines to no family member has it and I am going to play again?

I guess it is no longer his responsibility to care of his family and protect his peers...

Cameron Champ has tested negative 3 times since testing positive.

Yeah the testing is not ready for prime time. Funny thing is he said he was feeling great and was surprised by the positive test.

This is not unique to the PGA of course, the testing just isn't that reliable at this stage.

Very proactive. Am I using that term correctly?

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.

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.

More like Pro V1, amirite?

LOL'd, will LOL again probably several times.

Rapid tests have up to a 48% failure rate. As far as the PGA Tour goes, that’s a huge win!

I wouldn’t believe a single thing the PGA Tour says, starting with statement that health and safety is their #1 priority.
