Dylan Frittelli Becomes Fourth PGA Tour Player To Test Positive For Covid-19

Dylan Frittelli has withdrawn from this week's Rocket Mortgage Classic after testing positive for Covid-19.

The South African tested positive before the PGA Tour's charter flight to Detroit.

“I am experiencing no issues and feel great physically and was surprised and disappointed to learn of the positive test today,” said Frittelli.

“I’m thankful for the Whoop strap notification of a minor increase [0.3] in my respiratory rate overnight.

"However, I’m most thankful for the Tour’s assistance, procedures and protocols, which I will continue to follow during my self-isolation, so as to keep everyone safe.

"I look forward to getting back on Tout once it’s safe to do so.”

The PGA Tour say that it "has implemented its response plan in consultation with medical experts, including working with those who may have had close contact with Frittelli.

"After conducting necessary contact tracing, the Tour’s medical advisors are not recommending any additional testing at this time."
