Grayson Murray announced via social media that he’s been forced to pull out of this week’s PGA Tour event in Minnesota due to a positive test result for COVID-19.
On his Instagram account, Murray said he was scheduled to leave for the 3M Open, but didn’t feel well and got tested for the virus.
The Raleigh, North Carolina, native has one win on the PGA Tour — the 2017 Barbasol Championship — and has played in a trio of events since the return to golf, missing a pair of cuts and withdrawing from another event due to a back problem.
Two people – a caddie on the PGA Tour and a player on the Korn Ferry Tour – tested positive for the coronavirus last week, but the pro golf world has seen a low percentage of participants test positive. Murray’s positive test marks the seventh for a PGA Tour player.

“You don’t want to have any, but I think as you look at where we are and the trends for our overall program, and again, the tightening that we’ve done, I think that the results are very good,
