However, not all players could participate in Sunday’s tribute, with Max Homa, winner of last week’s Genesis Invitational receiving backlash for having not joined in.

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!

He defended himself, citing his contractual obligations to wear his pre-packed clothes.

I mean this with zero hyperbole, this the weirdest thing I’ve experienced on Twitter lol I love Tiger more than u guys. Promise. Listen to an interview from last week. Red and black tomorrow doesn’t prove that. A lifelong attempt to mimic his approach to the game of golf does

It is expected that the injuries sustained in the crash will have a severe impact on Woods’ future in professional golf.
