- Dylan Frittelli, Denny McCarthy and Nick Watney put in group
- Tour follows ‘symptom-based model for return to work’
The PGA Tour has deployed its first Covid-19 threeball after confirming a trio of players who returned positive tests would remain in the field for the Workday Charity Open.
The Tour has cited guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as key to allowing Dylan Frittelli, Denny McCarthy and Nick Watney to play in Ohio but the move is known to have raised eyebrows among fellow competitors. Late on Wednesday evening, just hours before round one was due to get under way, Frittelli, McCarthy and Watney were removed from their existing tee groupings and placed together.
