Kisner called it 'very disturbing,' adding, 'He was really working hard on his game, trying to practice and get back in shape. He signed up for the U.S. Senior Open yesterday. He was trying to do anything he could to come back and try and help our TGL team, get ready, hopefully try and play the Masters.' He described the event as 'just a really unfortunate incident,' noting the positive that 'nobody was injured in the incident and we can all move forward and hopefully help him get better.' Faxon echoed the sentiment, stating, 'He’s the biggest needle mover in our sport.' He mentioned the Jupiter area, where Woods resides, saying local buzz spreads quickly when Woods practices or plays.
