As the NBA and NHL attempt to restart their seasons, and Major League Baseball and the NFL plan to start theirs, the coronavirus sent a harsh reminder on the PGA Tour last week how tough it’s going to be for those leagues to operate during a pandemic. And it’s fairly easy to practice social distancing in golf.

Six players withdrew before last week’s Travelers Championship outside Hartford. The two who did so because they personally tested positive for the coronavirus were Cameron Champ and Denny McCarthy, while the two biggest-name players who withdrew, former world No. 1 Brooks Koepka and recent RBC Heritage winner Webb Simpson, did so out of caution because someone close to them tested positive. They have tested negative for COVID-19 (on Sunday night, Dylan Frittelli also tested positive).

In the wake of those withdrawals, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan has instituted more stringent health and safety protocols ahead of this week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit. For example, there will be additional testing, and player instructors now will be subject to the same testing protocols as players and caddies. Once again, no fans will be in attendance this week.
