“Very disturbing,” Kisner said. “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.”
“Just a really unfortunate incident,” he continued. “The only positive is that is nobody was injured in the incident and we can all move forward and hopefully help him get better.”
While Kisner’s remarks conveyed concern and disappointment, they also showed support for a teammate and friend. Brad Faxon echoed those sentiments.
“He’s the biggest needle mover in our sport,” Faxon said, “You know, where we live in that area, that Jupiter area, whenever Tiger goes to play or practice, it gets around pretty quickly.”
“And the fact that he was getting ready to practice, you know, at his home club, and thinking maybe he’s going to play the Masters. Everybody was kind of hoping for that and we’re hoping for the best wishes for Tiger now as he goes forward,” he said.
