American golfer Denny McCarthy was the latest to drop from the PGA Tour this week after he tested positive for coronavirus on Friday.

McCarthy withdrew ahead of the second-round of the Travelers Championship in Connecticut on Friday after reporting feeling symptoms for days.

"I was feeling pretty tired and sore after the round yesterday but didn't think much of it because I had practiced a lot Monday to Wednesday," McCarthy said in a PGA Tour statement, obtained by CBS Sports.

"Last night, I woke up in the middle of the night with additional aches and soreness and sensed something was off. I felt like the only thing to do was get tested at that point before I went to the course."
