Tokyo Olympics 2021: Bryson DeChambeau off Team USA after COVID-19 positive, replaced by Patrick Reed

DeChambeau failed the final COVID-19 test ahead of the Olympics

Bryson DeChambeau, the No. 6 golfer in the world, has been removed from Team USA at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics after a positive COVID-19 result in the final phase of testing before The Games. DeChambeau was the fourth-highest ranked American golfer at the Olympics. "I am deeply disappointed not to be able to compete in the Olympics for Team USA," said DeChambeau. "Representing my country means the world to me and it was a tremendous honor to make this team. I wish Team USA the best of luck next week in Tokyo. I will now focus on getting healthy, and I look forward to returning to competition once I am cleared to do so." Patrick Reed will step in as DeChambeau's replacement once he clears testing protocols on Monday. Reed was a member of Team USA at the 2016 Rio Olympics where he finished T11.
