The European Tour has withdrawn Jazz Janewattananond from this week’s Omega Dubai Desert Classic after the Thai player tested positive for COVID-19.
Janewattananond, who has not exhibited any symptoms, was tested upon his arrival at Emirates Golf Club on Tuesday morning as part of the pre-tournament screening process.
His caddie, Apisit Kumkasame, was identified as a contact as part of the track and trace process and both will now isolate for ten days in accordance with the Dubai Health Authority. They will receive the full support of the European Tour and its on-site medical team.
Janewattananond will be replaced in the field by Julien Guerrier of France.
