It was the sight that had so many golf fans saddened: Tiger Woods, coming back to the clubhouse during the second round of the Genesis Invitational, (which is the tournament that he hosts), in a golf cart.
Clearly, it was a sign something was amiss, and fans immediately speculated about his back or his knees.
Officially, it was neither of those: He had an illness, per PGA Tour Communications. But either way, fans were bummed but they hoped he would get well soon.
Here’s a quick roundup of some of the immediate reaction on Friday, just after he shot a 1-over on Thursday:
