Graeme McDowell will withdraw from the Travelers Championship on Wednesday following news that his caddie tested positive for coronavirus.
"For the protection of the field and for my own physical and mental well-being, I'm going to take a test tomorrow morning then jump on a private plane," McDowell said Tuesday night, according to Golfweek's Eamon Lynch.
"I'm going to get myself out of here, home to Florida and decide whether I need to quarantine myself from my family."
McDowell's longtime caddie, Ken Comboy, believes he may have been exposed to the virus following the Charles Schwab Challenge two weeks ago after he was forced to fly commercial on a "packed" flight to Orlando because McDowell's private plane was too small for his party.
Comboy never made the trip to Cromwell, Connecticut, for this week's Travelers Championship.
The 40-year-old McDowell tested negative on Monday and has shown no symptoms. He has informed the Tour of who he was in close proximity to while at the Travelers, which included a Tuesday practice round with Chase and Brooks Koepka, along with Shane Lowry.
Cameron Champ also withdrew from the event Tuesday after testing positive for the virus.
