[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) shared the condition of 'Golf Emperor' Tiger Woods (USA), who was involved in a car rollover accident.

In an interview with the US NBA Tonight Show on the 11th (Korean time), he said, "I got in touch with Woods," and added, "I think other players have probably contacted Woods as well, and his condition is improving." He continued, "He will probably be discharged and able to go home next week or later," and added, "It is good for him to recover at home with his family." McIlroy had a phone conversation with Woods last week before the final round of the PGA Tour Arnold Palmer Invitational.

"Woods complained with an encouraging message, saying 'things don't go as planned,'" he introduced. On the final day of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, McIlroy wore the red top and black pants that Woods usually wears on the last day of the tournament to wish him a speedy recovery. Last month, Woods was seriously injured in his leg when the vehicle he was driving himself overturned in Los Angeles, California, USA, and underwent surgery. Since then, he has been transferred to another hospital and successfully completed follow-up surgery.
