Just days after being involved in a serious car accident that saw him suffer multiple injuries and left him hospitalized, several PGA Tour golfers let Tiger Woods knew that they support him and are rooting for his recovery. And they paid tribute by wearing the outfit that Woods made famous throughout his golfing career.
Several players appeared in the final round of the WGC-Workday Championship in Bradenton, Florida sporting red shirts and black pants, outfits that Woods traditionally wore when competing in tournaments.
Aside from the players, the maintenance crew at the Puerto Rico Championship also wore the same colors to honor the 45-year-old, who remains hospitalized in California after suffering injuries to his legs that required surgery.
Among the PGA Tour golfers who arrived in red shirts, per ESPN, were Rory McIlroy, Jason Day, Patrick Reed, Cameron Champ, Sebastian Munoz, and Tommy Fleetwood, while John Rahm and Justin Thomas wore shirts that looked more pink than red. Bryson DeChambeau, Matt Kuchar, and Day even went further with their donors for the Hall of Fame golfer, as they played with golf balls with his name stamped on its side.
Meanwhile, at the Gainbridge LPGA in Boca Raton, Annika Sorenstam also wore Woods' usual attire when she competed in the final round of the tournament.
Tiger Woods’ classic red and black attire was first suggested by his mother Tida early in his pro golf career and was something that he continued throughout the years.
Having multiple players wear those colors is a nice gesture that sends a clear message about his impact in the golfing world and how they are all eager to see him recover from his injuries.
