- Webb Simpson, Cameron Champ claim negative Covid-19 tests
- Coronavirus-linked pair previously withdrew from PGA Tour
Not even two rounds of 61 at the Travelers Championship could overshadow the continuing battles – and outright confusion – between the PGA Tour and Covid-19.
Webb Simpson, who withdrew from the tournament after revealing a member of his family tested positive for coronavirus, intends to play next week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. “I am happy to report that the Simpson family has all tested negative for Covid-19,” said Simpson. If that raised eyebrows, Cameron Champ’s subsequent bulletin took matters to another level. Champ had himself tested positive for coronavirus at the start of the week.
