Those who love golf know that Tiger Woods would always wear his trademark red and black gear on the final days of tournaments. But, since Woods couldn’t participate at the WGC-Workday Championship in Bradenton, Florida, others followed Tiger’s tradition.

Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Jason Day, along with other golfers, were seen wearing red and black in honor of Woods. Woods was not participating because he was involved in a car crash in Los Angeles earlier this week.

Many of the players, along with the PGA Tour’s official Twitter account, posted about the golfers that were showing their support for Tiger by wearing his signature outfit.

Woods noticed the gesture and conveyed his appreciation to the other golfers on Twitter in his first personal statement since his accident.

“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,” Woods said.

On Sunday, at the Gainbridge LBPA event led by Annika Sorenstam in Orlando, FL, many female golfers also sported Woods’ black pants and red shirt combination to show their support, per the LPGA official Twitter account.

In the accident, Woods suffered multiple fractures to his leg and a shattered ankle. However, the 45-year old is still in “good spirits.”

American Brittany Lang captured her first major title at the US. Women’s Open at CordeValle Gulf Club in San Martin, California on Sunday in a play-off with Anna Nordqvist after the Swede was handed a two-stroke penalty.

Brittany Lang Wins U.S. Women’s Open After Penalty On Anna Nordqvist

Nordqvist was penalized for touching sand in a bunker with her club on the second hole of a three-hole aggregate play-off with Lang.

USGA officials informed Lang, 30, of the penalty before her third to the last green, but Nordqvist didn’t find out until after her approach.

“I wish the USGA would have told me a bit earlier,” said the 29-year-old Swede afterwards. “They approached me after I already hit my third shot into 18, then kind of ran up to Brittany to tell her that I got penalized.”

Nordqvist then added that she wasn’t sure if knowing earlier would have changed the outcome, but that it would have definitely changed her aggressiveness into the 18th hole.

The penalty was given with the scores level, and was only picked up after television replays showed the Solheim Cup player had moved sand as she went to hit the ball.

Official rules mandate a player ‘grounding a club’ in a bunker will incur a two-shot penalty because they are deemed to have been testing the conditions.

Lang made par on the final hole with Nordqvist three-putting the last green to make a bogey and lose by three strokes. The Richmond, Virginia native expressed her unhappiness with Nordqvist’s penalty, despite her victory.

“You never want to win with a penalty or something like that happen, especially to Anna, who is a friend of mine and a great player and a classy girl,” Lang said. “But it’s unfortunate. It’s part of the game and it happened that way.”

This marked the second USGA-run major to be dominated by a controversial ruling in just three weeks, after Dustin Johnson played the majority of his final round of the US Open at Oakmont not knowing whether he would be penalized or not because his ball moved as he addressed it on the fifth green.

Nordqvist had forced a play-off with a five-under final round of 67, with Lang’s one-under-par 71 leaving both women on six-under for the tournament.

Lang, who was addressed as Bethany by USGA president Diana Murphy at the trophy presentation, said: “I’m thankful they told me before my wedge shot so I could take a little bit more club.

“They should tell you as soon as they know. I really don’t think today was that big of a deal. Anna happened to hit her third shot. They have to go look and check these things. It’s not that easy.”

Lang, who turned professional in 2005, added that she apologized to Nordqvist after the final round.

To make matters worse, the awards ceremony were then rocked by a fiasco of their own, as Murphy incorrectly called Lang ‘Bethany’ instead of ‘Brittany’ several times. Murphy later apologized in a statement, saying: “I have expressed my regret to Brittany personally and explained that in the heat of the moment, I became nervous and made these mistakes.”

World No. 1 Lydia Ko of New Zealand, who was seeking her third major title, shot a three-over 75 to finish in a tie for third on four-under. The 19-year-old sensation made a double bogey and two bogeys in the middle of her round as she went from leading after eight holes to two behind Lang and Nordqvist.

Lang finished as the runner up in the U.S. Women’s Open as an amateur eleven years ago.

The U.S. Women’s Open of the LPGA Tour will kick off at CordeValle Golf Club in San Martin, California on Thursday, with several top players set to compete.

South Korean 21-year-old In Gee Chun is the defending champion, as she won the 2015 Open in Lancaster, Pennsylvania for her first career LPGA Tour victory. Chun defeated countrywoman Amy Yang, 26, by one stroke to earn the win. CordeValle is renown for being a challenging course, and will undoubtedly test the world’s best female golfers.

Eight former champions are in the field this week. South Korean Se Ri Pak (1998), Australian Karrie Webb (2000-01), American Cristie Kerr (2007), South Korean Eun-Hee Ji (2009), American Paula Creamer (2010), South Korean So Yeon Ryu (2011), South Korean Na Yeon Choi (2012) and Korean-American Michelle Wie (2014). 

Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn is also one of the LPGA Tour’s hottest players competing this week. She was on a run of three straight wins before skipping the ShopRite Classic. She will be looking to regain her form from earlier in the season.

Also contending are the top two players in the Rolex Rankings, Korean-born New Zealander Lydia Ko, 19 (World No. 1), and World No. 2 Canadian Brooke Henderson, 18. Henderson won her first major at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in Sammamish, Washington last month.

Ko and Henderson will play the first two rounds with 21-year-old American Lexi Thompson, who is ranked fourth in the world, in the marquee group of the tournament.

The tournament, which will conclude on Sunday, will air on Fox Sports 1 for the first two days and then on Fox Sports the following two days.
