"He text me some words of encouragement before the final round at Bay Hill on Sunday and things didn’t quite go to plan and he was the first one to text me and he was like 'what’s going on here?' So even from the hospital bed he’s still giving me some heat," McIlroy told Jimmy fallon on The Tonight Show.
The tweet from Woods received hundreds of replies from golf fans, all wishing him well and hoping for a full recovery.
"Tiger, there is not another professional athlete who I root for more, in terms of rebounding and ending their career on a high note. So much golf ahead of you. The sport is more interesting when you tee it up. Take care of yourself, man," said one golf fan on Twitter.
