McDowell said he was withdrawing for the protection of the other players and caddies and for his own peace of mind.
Two players have withdrawn ahead of the Travelers Championship because of the coronavirus as the PGA Tour awaits test results of the entire field of players and caddies in its third week back amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
McDowell said he informed the tour who he was around during his time at the TPC River Highlands. That includes a practice round Tuesday with Brooks Koepka, Chase Koepka and British Open champion Shane Lowry. Justin Thomas, who also wears the wristband, said the tour has acquired Whoop straps for players and caddies.
