LOS ANGELES, July 26 (Online Int’l): The United States has scrapped its 14-day quarantine for overseas PGA Tour golfers, but that’s not enough to convince former world No. 1 Lee Westwood to get on an airplane and fly to America. The US federal government decided that professional golfers no longer must quarantine for two weeks because the USPGA Tour has put in place numerous safety and health measures such as regular testing for the coronavirus.
The lifting of the restrictions opens the door for travelling non-Americans to enter the first major championship of 2020 in San Francisco on August 6 and next week’s WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational in Tennessee. However, the attraction of playing in a major is not enough to sway Westwood, who said he is worried about the way the United States is handling the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I don’t feel it is right to jump on as plane for 12 hours”, the 34-year-old Westwood told reporters Saturday at the British Masters.
