WGC-Workday Final Field - Somber mood as players respond to news of Tiger Woods crash

WGC-Workday Championship at The Concession 2021 - A quieter mood settles on the Field as players respond to news of Tiger Woods crash and injuries.


Here is what some of them have said.

Adam Scott: 
 
“He’s our hero out here. You think guys like Tiger and Kobe Bryant are untouchable, but they’re not. I just hope he’s all right.”

Jon Rahm:  
“As if his body hasn’t endured enough. Just hoping out of a bad situation, the best possible outcome, and I hope he can recover from it and we can see him on the golf course as early as possible.  I just hope he can get out of the hospital after recovery and he can still play with his kids and have a normal life.”

Bryson DeChambeau:
“A bit shocked, obviously.  You don’t expect anything like that to happen. But from everything that I know about Tiger, I’m sure he’ll recover and he’ll do everything in his power to come back, I’m sure he will.

“He’s an amazing human being that has done incredible things. I have no doubt in my mind he’ll be back. Take him a little longer, I’m sure, but from my perspective he’s one of the most impressive human beings I’ve ever met and I think that he’ll come back just fine.”

Billy Horschel:  
“Very tough right now. We sent texts to (his agent Steinberg) saying we’re praying for him. It’s tough. He’s a friend of mine. We don’t know the full gist of things but we’ve heard the injuries are not life threatening. We pray he’ll be fine.”

Tony Finau: 
“He means a lot to the game of golf. I’ve said it I think time after time, the ’97 Masters changed the course of my life. Without that event I probably wouldn’t be here, I wouldn’t be playing golf, so he definitely changed the course of my life, my career.  I think I’m one of hundreds of guys out here probably that would say the same thing."

Steve Stricker: 
“I’m shocked and saddened to hear about Tiger. I’m hoping and praying that he will be OK.”

Justin Thomas:
“I’m sick to my stomach. You know, it hurts to see one of your, now one of my closest friends, get in an accident.  Man, I just hope he’s all right.  Just worry for his kids, you know. I’m sure they’re struggling.”
