The PGA Tour has made a further round of adjustments to its health and safety protocols to keep circuit policy in line with evolving guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

PGA Tour: vaccinated players will no longer need masks

The CDC announced last week that fully vaccinated people would no longer be required to wear a face mask or maintain social distancing in most settings.

To comply with these guidelines, the Tour informed players on Tuesday via a memo that if they are fully vaccinated, they will no longer be required to wear a mask indoors or outdoors. Unvaccinated players will need to wear a mask indoors but not outdoors, unless they are unable to travel social distance.

This new policy will take effect from the Charles Schwab Challenge next week.

The Tour also informed the players that spouses or significant others will be allowed to enter the “bubble,” which means that they will be able to eat in the players' restaurants for the first time since the Tour resumed last June.

Spouses / common-law partners will be tested for COVID-19 on site, unless they are fully immunized.
