A few pro golfers paid tribute to Tiger Woods on February 28 at the WGC-Workday Championship. Players could be seen in the usual attired donned by Woods when competing in a final round: red shirt, black hat, and black slacks. 
The act of solidarity comes as Woods continues to recover from emergency surgery stemming from his February 23 car accident in Los Angeles County. The accident left him with multiple 'open fractures' to his right leg and injuries to the foot and ankle, according to ESPN.
Rory McIlroy, who dressed in the iconic red and black on Sunday during play, reportedly said, ‘I think everyone should just be grateful that he’s here, that he’s alive, that his kids haven’t lost their dad...
... 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.’
Woods, who saw the tributes, wrote on Twitter: ‘It is hard to explain how touching today was when I turned on the tv and saw all the red shirts. To every golfer and every fan, you are truly helping me get through this tough time.’
