Will Zalatoris’ quest for his maiden PGA Tour victory will have to wait another week.
The reigning PGA Tour Rookie of the Year tested positive for COVID-19 and withdrew Tuesday from this week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am at Pebble Beach, Calif.
Zalatoris, 25, lost to Luke List in a playoff Sunday at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, settling for second place. He missed an 8-foot birdie putt to win on the 72nd hole, which triggered the playoff.
Zalatoris made a name for himself when he finished second at the 2021 Masters. He moved to No. 29 in the Official World Golf Ranking this week.
He was the third betting favorite at BetMGM to win this week prior to his withdrawal, behind only Patrick Cantlay and defending champion Daniel Berger.
Greg Chalmers replaced Zalatoris in the field. The tournament will begin Thursday.
