Sergio Garcia Tests Positive for COVID-19, Withdraws from Masters

Sergio Garcia announced Monday that he has tested positive for COVID-19, forcing him to withdraw from the 2020 Masters.

Garcia, the 2017 Masters champion, reported that he began experiencing symptoms over the weekend while driving back from the Houston Open and decided to get tested the following day.

"The important thing is that my family and I are feeling good," Garcia wrote on Twitter. "We'll come back stronger and give the green jacket a go next April."

Garcia, 40, hasn't missed a major tournament since the 1999 U.S. Open. He won the Sanderson Farms Championship last month, his first PGA Tour victory since his 2017 green jacket.
