The PGA Tour is strongly encouraging its players and caddies to get the COVID-19 vaccines, sending a memo on Monday that outlined how it will eventually stop on-site testing while also attempting to debunk some of the myths associated with the shots.
In the memo obtained by ESPN, the Tour said while it will not mandate vaccination, it will require those who do not get the shots to still be tested each week for COVID-19, within 72 hours of arrival on site and at their own expense. Those who fail a COVID-19 test will be required to withdraw and be subject to contact tracing and quarantine procedures.
