Last week on the PGA Tour 487 people were tested for the virus and there were ZERO positives. This week there are rumors flying that we have had a positive test. We will assume based on HIPAA that the name will not be divulged, unless they do so themselves, but what are your thoughts?

But, if the guys out there are doing all the right things, it should not spread. Remove the player, quarantine, and move on.
Exactly, these guys should all be less likely to have severe symptoms so isolate and move on.
Who withdrew? LOL
Never mind, I see Nick Whatney
Yes they are testing every day of the week practice rounds included.
yep, and apparently their test results are ready in an hour.
Now we wait and see if others test positive down the road.
if i remember, they dont test everyone every day.
That’s the best description of Covid I have heard.
This ??…
too much pontoon boat activity.
yup, simple. i’m sure they have a plan considering how long they’ve been working on this.
Moved to existing thread on the topic
thanks.
That wasn’t the case, at least from what I read.
He was displaying symptoms prior to the second round. He played round one with no symptoms.
Very well could have been. Tests are not 100% reliable.
Totally agree. We have to learn to live with this virus.
You are right. I read it wrong.
"Watney consulted with a doctor about symptoms consistent with the virus before arriving at the golf course for the second round of the RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing, being played at Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island. A test showed him to be positive."
He did. Tested negative last week and upon arrival this week. But traveled private and did not use the PGA charter.
Even for them, as long as they don’t have any underlying conditions, it shouldn’t be a big deal.
It can take anywhere for 2 days to 14 days from first infection to displaying symptoms. Now there are rumors circulating Watney wasn’t the only positive test. Standby.
It might not be the last with this tournament.
He was paired with Luke List and Vaughn Taylor. Will be anxiously awaiting updates.
Let’s try to limit the jokes considering the amount of those that have lost loved ones.
Wasn’t a joke. Just an observation that if anyone dies with COVID-19 even if it had nothing to do with their demise, certain people want to contribute it to the disease to bolster the numbers.
No one is disputing this, but we can be sensitive and stay on topic here. There is a very lively Covid thread if you wish to discuss that.
"Rory McIlroy has just confirmed that, contrary to what the PGA Tour say, Nick Watney WAS at the golf course today. They were on the practice putting green at the same time. Why the Tour cover-up? Transparency surely key with something like this."
Wow. Rory made it clear with his comments during the lockdown that he wasn’t going to mess around with this. Interesting…
Get me some of that virus….
It is going to be impossible to keep it out of the Tour circle, but they cant roll up in a ball and hide, either.
Exactly. I’m not sure what they expected.
