AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Sergio Garcia tested positive for COVID-19 and the former Masters champion has withdrawn from the tournament, becoming the second player who will miss the major championship due to the coronavirus.
Garcia, 40, who missed the cut last week at the Houston Open, won the Sanderson Farms Championship last month.
His first major title came at the 2017 Masters in a sudden-death playoff over Justin Rose.
Garcia has the longest streak of consecutive major championships played at 84, dating to the 1999 Open at Carnoustie, when he was 19 years old.
