“My stomach hurts,” said the world number 3. “You know, it hurts to see one of my closest friends get into an accident. Man, I just hope he’s okay. Just worry about his kids, you know. I’m sure they’re struggling.”

Adam Scott, an old friend and rival of Woods, added: “He’s disgusting. He’s our hero here … I just hope he’s okay.”

Xander Schauffele said: “My putting coach called me and told me. The volunteer who took me showed me a photo, and I read that they used the jaws of life. The mood has been very calm I would say.

“Everyone I’ve talked to has been in a strange mood because of the news. I was talking to my caddy about the impact it has had on the game of golf. It’s not good for us, it’s not good for golf. Everyone does. What we can do is hope that he is well and that he recovers quickly. “

PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Manahan issued a statement saying: “We have been informed of the Tiger Woods car accident today. We are awaiting more information when he comes out of surgery. On behalf of the PGA Tour and our players, Tiger is on our prayers and we will have our full support as he recovers. “

Augusta National President Fred Ridley said: “Tiger Woods is part of the Augusta National family, and the news of his accident upsets us all. We pray for him, for his full recovery, and for his family during this difficult time. .. “

Tweets continued to arrive from a variety of stars across all sports, with Ian Poulter among the first to offer his well wishes:
