I have 1,674,000 reasons why he should have been vaccinated. The winning purse for the tournament. And he got zero.

[Beyond The Wall]

This is a special kind of stupid!
Tired of this crap!
Wrong on so many levels.
Playing outside…in the wind….
Others in group had immunity. They were okay with him continuing .
He was a symptomatic .
What the test set at? Should have gotten second test.
Bottom line….someone wanted him out of tournament. He should sue

As he walked off the course he was met by the PGA doctor who informed him of the second positive test. This is when Rahm said not again. They said that the vaccine shot he had received did not have enough time to give him immunity.

Spot on. The PGA followed their policy protocol. Unfortunate for Jon Rahm. He has handled it well IMHO.

He had already been vaccinated for Covid.

Rumors. I heard he refused to be vaccinated hence……..we’ll not really know until he speaks about it…if ever.

Nope. The saddest is that this was totally preventable, and it was 100% his choice. Some people won’t take yes for an answer.

So, a guy with the China Virus plays what might be his greatest round of competitive golf. He feels fine too. Too bad he got the jab cuz he's all set now and didn't need to get the shot.
Got to wonder how many other golfers would take a mild dose of CV to shoot a career round of golf
And why couldn't the PGA let him play a final round by himself, with observers?

And when are those checks arriving from China to pay for what they did to the world?

The last time I checked golf is played outside. No reason to worry about covid. Just don't kiss anybody.

Interesting the PGA kept fans away, then allowed limited fans with masks.
This gave the appearance the players & caddies were clean and vaccinated.
My question, why let players play if not vaccinated??

$$$$$$

[christine J Toft]

Seriously, good for him? Possibly spreading the Virus. Money over possibly the lives of others. Great choice?

Here’s what gets my goat. If Rahm’s positive test was so freaking critical, why did they let him continue playing!!!?

They should have immediately pulled him from competition and not allowed him to potentially expose hundreds (thousands?) of peers, officials, fans, etc.

To me, it lessens the importance of the test and risk because the PGA allowed Rahm to play through 18 THEN pull him from the tournament.

No, he was vaccinated AFTER contact with someone who had it...

He most like already had it when vaccinated, but was asymptomatic...

Here's a guy who lost out on one and a half million dollars roughly for really no reason except politics

And you know his lack of vaccination was political how?

Just putting this out there. He’s outside participating in a non contract sport while maintaining social distancing.
