After a successful late summer run of negative tests prior to the U.S. Open, Adam Scott becomes the third star player in as many weeks to test positive for the coronavirus.
PGA TOUR Statement on Adam Scott
PGA TOUR member Adam Scott has withdrawn from the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP @ SHERWOOD after testing positive for COVID-19.
Scott, who last competed at the U.S. Open in September, will have the PGA TOUR’s full support throughout his self-isolation period under CDC guidelines.
“While it’s difficult news to receive – as I really looked forward to playing this week – my focus now is on recovery for the final stretch of the fall,” said Scott.
First alternate Jim Herman will replace Scott in the field.
Scott had sat out the PGA Tour’s restart due to concerns about traveling safely and PGA Tour protocols, returning at August’s rescheduled PGA Championship.
