(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Dong-chan = Rory McIlroy (32, Northern Ireland) reported the status of Tiger Woods (46, USA), the’golf emperor’, predicting that “hopefully, you can leave the hospital and return home within a few weeks.”
McIlroy said in an interview with the US NBA’Tonight Show’ on the 11th (Korean time), “I recently contacted Woods,” and “I think other players have contacted Woods, but Woods’ condition is improving.” .
McIlroy, who is about to compete in the PGA Tour Players Championship, which will open in Pontevedra Beach, Florida, on the 11th, said, “If the situation improves smoothly as it is now, I will be discharged and return home next week or later.” “It’s a good thing to stay at home with my family and recover.”
In February, in Los Angeles, California, USA, a car he was driving was overturned and severely injured his leg and underwent surgery.
Since then, reports that he was unconscious at the time of the accident came out, and Woods is in a state of doubt whether he will be able to resume his career, skipping the timing of returning to the field.
“For now, I just want Woods to recover quickly,” McIlroy added.

He also revealed that Woods had been in touch ahead of the final round of the PGA Tour Arnold Palmer Invitational last week.
McIlroy introduced, “Woods complained that’things didn’t go as planned’ with a message of encouragement.”
Bryson DeChambo (USA), who won the Arnold Palmer Invitational, also revealed that they had received a call from Woods ahead of the fourth round.
McIlroy wore the red top and black pants that Woods enjoyed on the last day of the tournament, wishing Woods a heal in the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Winner of the 2019 Players Championship, McIlroy will compete in the first and second rounds of this year’s competition with 2018 champion Webb Simpson (USA) and 2008 winner Sergio Garcia (Spain).
