PGA Tour reimplements indoor mask policy, skips serial testing though that's still 'a possibility'

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- With recent concern over the Delta variant of the coronavirus and an increase in positive cases around the country, the PGA Tour this week reimplemented an indoor mask policy for all individuals, but stopped short of resuming its COVID-19 testing.
