Champ earned entry into the first tournament of 2022 by winning
the 3M Open last year at Blaine, MN. He had five top-25 finishes
last season and finished 57th in the FedEx Cup standings.
"Cameron is naturally quite disappointed not to be able to
return to action in Maui," Champ's representation said in a
message on Twitter, relayed through the PGA Tour. "Thankfully,
however, he feels good and we were able to confirm this
breakthrough case whilst he was still at home in Houston."
Champ's withdrawal brings the Tournament of Champions field down
to 38 players. Play at the Plantation Course at Kapalua begins
Thursday.
It is the second time Champ has tested positive for COVID-19.
The Sacramento, Calif., native and Houston resident also
withdrew from last year's Travelers Championship.
