Tell us more about yourself and the author team.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The author group comprised the Chief Medical Officer for the global golf tours we look after and experts in immunology, public health policy, and event operations from across Europe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is the story behind your study?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

In normal times, the biggest asset of The European Tour is that we have athletes from all over the world and venues all over the world- it is a truly international tour. However, staging safe and spectacular events in this context is difficult. We wanted to see if the methods we put together with other international sports events worked.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In your own words, what did you find?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The incidence of positive tests was very low, with no evidence of outdoor transmission.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What was the main challenge you faced in your study?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The main challenge was the consistency of PCR testing and data gathering.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If there is one take-home message from your study, what would that be?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Assessing risk and putting in risk mitigation measures can be effective for international sporting events. Research can really challenge the team to deliver high standards at events!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
