World No. 4 Brooks Koepka has told Golfweek that he is withdrawing from the Travelers Championship after his caddie, Ricky Elliott, became the latest to test positive for coronavirus on the PGA Tour.

Elliott tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday morning at TPC River Highlands having previously tested negative 48 hours earlier when he arrived at the tournament.

“I’m going to pull out to protect everybody else. I think it’s the right thing to do,” Koepka said. “I don’t want to risk anyone’s life if they have respiratory issues or underlying conditions. The only way this Tour can continue is if guys to do this sort of thing and be proactive about it.”

Yeh, this is why testing/contract tracing is kinda worthless unless we constantly live in a bubble

How many more?

If 4 or more I can see the tour pulling the plug on this event.

I am about to work up my card during the lunch break and enter my wagers this evening.

damn if golf has to shut down after two weeks it would be a terrible sign for the other sports requiring close contact this summer/fall

Great, ballchamp says he doubts it's cancelled so that confirms golf's indefinite suspension of tournaments.

Brooks Koepka’s caddie Ricky Elliott confirms to me that he took a second test of today, after testing positive this morning, and the 2nd came back negative.

At the moment, he says they are still not playing this week.

JBE would count that as 3 positives in Louisiana.
