The country lifts restrictions for professional golfers, but former world No 1 says it is still a hotspot for Covid-19
Los Angeles — The US has scrapped its 14-day quarantine for overseas PGA Tour golfers, but that is not enough to convince former world No 1 Lee Westwood to get on an aeroplane and fly to the US.
The lifting of the restrictions opens the door for travelling non-Americans to enter the first Major championship of 2020 in San Francisco on August 6 and this week’s WGC-FedEx St Jude Invitational in Tennessee. “I don’t feel it is right to jump on a plane for 12 hours,” the 34-year-old Westwood told reporters at the British Masters. “I’m still concerned that the US doesn’t take it [the virus] as seriously as the rest of the world. It still seems to be one of the hot spots for outbreaks.”
