(Reuters) - Sergio Garcia will not compete in the final Masters tune-up event in a bid to avoid potential COVID-19 exposure with fans ahead of the year's first major, the former champion said on Thursday.
Garcia, who withdrew from last November's Masters after testing positive for the virus days before the tournament began, said it is great to see fans returning to PGA Tour events but to avoid risk he felt it was best to sit out the April 1-4 Texas Open.
