Since the PGA Tour resumed June 18, Johnson is the 11th player to test positive for the coronavirus. Under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention protocols on the PGA Tour, Johnson is to self-isolate for 10 days before he can return. That would leave open the possibility of Johnson playing next week in the Zozo Championship at Sherwood in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
