Tiger Woods is in the hospital after his involvement in a scary single-car crash on Tuesday. Woods suffered leg injuries and is in surgery, but the good news is his injuries don't appear to be life-threatening.
Given Woods' stature, it's no surprise that this crash has drawn reaction from plenty of other high-profile athletes out there. Fellow PGA star Justin Thomas was emotional talking about the situation:

Tiger has been such a major part of the sports landscape for over two decades, so it's only natural for so many fellow athletes to react in this way. He was revered for his dominance earlier in his career, and his return to glory at the 2019 Masters brought all of the feels for sports fans.
The 45-year-old was already dealing with adversity prior to this crash. Tiger was rehabbing from yet another back surgery, and it was unclear when he was going to be able to return to the golf course. This crash will only delay a potential return even further, if he'll even be able to continue his career at all.
Everybody is praying this isn't the end for Tiger Woods' career, and hopefully he'll recover and make another triumphant return to the links.
