There will be a missing voice in coverage of this week's Masters Tournament, which was moved from its traditional magnolia-festooned April due to COVID-19.
David Duval, studio analyst for Golf Channel, has tested positive for the virus, according to the cable network.
Duvall tweeted: "I’m so sad not being a part of the Masters coverage this week. I flew to Atlanta and drove to Augusta Sunday. I went straight to the testing site and got tested. Like so many other Americans I was apparently unknowingly exposed to COVID and tested positive."
Duval told the channel he did not have symptoms, according to his fellow analysts, who announced the diagnosis on Live from the Masters Tuesday night (Nov. 10) to explain the absence of the former world number one golfer and major champion.
"As of now I have no symptomsm: Duvall tweeted. "I drove home straight thru the night and am in quarantine in my basement."
Former Masters Champion Sergio Garcia had to drop out of the tournament after he also tested positive for the virus.
