Rory McIlroy was among the players to wear red and black in honour of Tiger Woods for the final round of the WGC-Workday Championship on Sunday.
Woods, who is recovering in hospital in Los Angeles following a serious car accident on Tuesday, has traditionally worn those colours on the last day of tournaments.

McIlroy went into the final round at The Concession Golf Club four shots behind US PGA champion Collin Morikawa.
Woods’ close friend Justin Thomas, meanwhile, wore a near-replica of the striped shirt Woods wore in the final round of the 2019 Farmers Insurance Open.
Woods said last week that he was in “good spirits” while recovering from his accident, which left him with serious injuries including a fractured right leg and shattered ankle after the crash on Tuesday morning.
The American, who was in the vehicle alone, had to be cut out of his car after the vehicle collided with a kerb and then a tree before rolling several times.
