Bill Haas withdrew from the RSM Classic on Tuesday after testing positive for COVID-19, the PGA Tour announced.

"It's obviously disappointing news to receive, but my focus is now on recovery and ensuring the health and well-being of my family," Haas said in a statement.

The 2011 FedEx Cup winner has struggled to regain his form following his involvement in a fatal car crash in February 2018. Haas has dropped well out of the top 100 in the world rankings and currently sits No. 576 after missing cuts in 11 of his past 20 tournaments.

Vincent Whaley will replace Haas in the RSM Classic field.
