“It’s a very unfortunate situation, obviously,” Andy Levinson, the PGA Tour’s senior vice president of tournament administration, said. Levinson said the tour’s medical advisers did not recommend participation in a competition the day after a confirmed positive test. The tour shut down for three months after the coronavirus was declared a pandemic in March 2020. Vaccinated players would also not be subject to the contact tracing that Rahm underwent this week. Levinson said that the tour had tracked vaccinations among players and that more than 50 percent of its more than 200 players had been fully vaccinated.
