Tiger Woods: "To every golfer and every fan, you are truly helping me get through this tough time."
"It is hard to explain how touching today was when I turned on the tv and saw all the red shirts," Woods said via Twitter. "To every golfer and every fan, you are truly helping me get through this tough time."
In a widespread show of solidarity, golfers who normally compete against Woods showed their support for him on Sunday, wearing his trademark colors. The long list includes Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, Justin Thomas and Jason Day.
"At this stage I think everyone should just be grateful that he's here, that he's alive, that his kids haven't lost their dad," McIlroy said. "That's the most important thing. Golf is so far from the equation right now, it's not even on the map at this point."
Collin Morikawa – who on Sunday became the only player not named Tiger Woods to win a major tournament and a World Golfing Championship title before turning 25 – did not wear red, but he still paid tribute to Woods, calling him an inspiration.
