This, they said is to honour the 15-time major winner, who
suffered a car accident.
Woods, considered one of the greatest golfers of his
generation, was being treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles
after Tuesday’s crash left him with a fractured right leg and shattered ankle.
The 45-year-old is recovering and in “good spirits”
An 82-time PGA Tour winner, Woods famously wears a red shirt
and black trousers on Sundays. Collin Morikawa, who leads by two shots over
Brooks Koepka at the Concession Golf Club, will wear the same colour
combination, along with Patrick Reed, according to Golf Channel.
American Max Homa endorsed the idea but said he would be
unable to participate as he did not pack the colours required.
Ten-time major champion Annika Sorenstam, who is playing her
first LPGA Tour tournament in 13 years, will also wear red and black in the
final round of the Gainbridge LPGA event in Orlando.
