Vegas is the second PGA Tour player to withdraw because of a positive test this year. Jim Herman tested positive before leaving for Hawaii for the Sentry Tournament of Champions.
Xander Schauffele and Webb Simpson both had the coronavirus over the holidays but recovered in time to play on Maui last week.
