Golf pro Tiger Woods spoke up on Twitter for the first time after his serious car accident and thanked him for his support. “It’s hard to explain how touching it was today when I turned on the TV and saw all these red shirts. To all golfers and all fans: You really help me through this difficult time,” wrote the 45-year-old athlete on Sunday afternoon (local time).

Red shirt, black pants. The world-famous outfit of superstar Woods on the final day of every golf tournament is always the same and also a hint to the competition: Warning, I’m serious now. After his serious car accident in Los Angeles, the 15-time major winner was missing on the final day of the World Golf Championchips in Bradenton, Florida. But in honor of Woods, stars like Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Patrick Reed wore these colors on Sunday at the Concession Golf Club.

Woods ran off the road last Tuesday in his car, which overturned several times. He was seriously injured and there are known several open fractures on his right leg. Since the accident in Los Angeles there had only been statements from his management. The 45-year-old was transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles two days after the serious accident, where he is currently receiving further treatment. “The treatments were successful. He is recovering now and is in a good mood,” said the management of the 82-time PGA Tour winner.
