PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said Wednesday there will be extra coronavirus testing and stricter monitoring of protocols after three positive tests this week ahead of the Travelers Championship, which begins today.

Cameron Champ and caddies Ricky Elliott and Ken Comboy have tested positive since arriving for the Travelers.

Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from the tournament despite a negative test because Elliott caddies for him. Graeme McDowell  also withdrew despite testing negative because Comboy caddies for him. Additionally, Brooks’ brother, Chase Koepka, withdrew, as did Webb Simpson.
