Tiger Woods became this Sunday in the main protagonist of the start of the fourth and last round of the WGC-Workday Championship tournament when several players arrived on the field dressed in red and black in honor of the injured former number one of the world. The mother of Woods , Tida, suggested the outfit when he was a young man Professional.
The American Tony Finau was the most complete in the tribute by wearing a simulated red golf shirt, black pants and his Nike cap turned upside down , the way Woods has often made it to tournaments.
But so did the Australian Jason Day , English Tommy Fleetwood , Cameron Champ , the Colombian Sebastián Muñoz , the Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy and Patrick Reed . The Spanish Jon Rahm and Justin Thomas wore a shade that seemed to be more pink.

Woods, by 45 years, was involved in a car accident on Tuesday that left him with multiple injuries severe requiring surgery. He is currently in the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Los Angeles.
Americans, Bryson DeChambeau and Matt Kuchar also used a Bridgestone golf ball with Tiger’s name stamped on the side.
I unfortunately didn’t pack any red and black for this road trip (obviously didn’t know the news til arriving), so I will try and pay my respects to TW tomorrow with some really great final round # golf . Hope to see a lot of red and black out there!

Max Homa , who won the Genesis Invitational last Sunday and received from Woods the tournament trophy at Riviera Country Club , assured that he would honor him by trying to play his best; as he did not have a red shirt nor could he make arrangements to get one with his various sponsorships . He was immediately in the eye of the hurricane because of the opinion of people on social networks.
