Report: Graeme McDowell to WD from Travelers after caddie tests positive

Graeme McDowell plans to withdraw from the Travelers Championship on Wednesday after his caddie tested positive for COVID-19, according to a Golfweek report.

McDowell's longtime caddie, Ken Comboy, received his test results on Tuesday afternoon.

“For the protection of the field and for my own physical and mental well-being, I’m going to take a test tomorrow morning then jump on a private plane,” McDowell told Golfweek's Eamon Lynch. “I’m going to get myself out of here, home to Florida and decide whether I need to quarantine myself from my family.”

McDowell said he tested negative on Monday, but he didn't want to take any chances.
