Tiger Woods has broken his silence.

The golf star has been recovering from serious injuries suffered in a single-car accident in late February following surgery. Until now, we have only heard statements from Woods’ team, but that changed over the weekend during the WCG-Workday Championship.

A handful of golfers — including Tony Finau, Rory McIlroy, Patrick Reed, and Jason Day — honored Woods by wearing his traditional Sunday outfit of a red shirt and black pants and Tiger took notice.

The 15-time major champion took to social media to share his appreciation for the gesture.

“It is hard to explain how touching today was when I turned on the tv and saw all the red shirts,” the 45-year-old Woods wrote. “To every golfer and every fan, you are truly helping me get through this tough time.”

Woods, who is currently recovering at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, “suffered comminuted open fractures in his right leg.”

That means the bone was fractured in multiple places and broke through the skin. As a result, doctors used a rod and screws to stabilize his leg.

Woods also suffered injuries to his left leg.

We continue to wish Tiger a full and speedy recovery and hope that he will be able to resume his golf career once he is fully healed.
