Dwyane Wade reflected on Tiger Woods' car crash the day after playing golf together

Well said.

Tiger Woods faces a long road to recovery after suffering significant leg injuries in a single-car, rollover crash outside of Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Woods was in town do hold a series of promotional events and golf outings at Rolling Hills Country Club, which included playing golf with former NBA star Dwyane Wade on Monday.

Shortly before news of Woods’ crash surfaced — the crash took place around 7 a.m. — Wade shared photos and videos from the golf experience with Tiger. And though Tiger is expected to recover from his injuries, Wade offered his reflection on Tuesday’s events during TNT’s Inside the NBA.

Wade said:

“I had an unbelievable opportunity yesterday. Candace and I, we flew up here together and we spoke about it. I picked up the golf club, like many in the Black community, because of Tiger Woods. I got that opportunity yesterday to get out there. He taught me a few things, hopefully it translates. But to be out there with the GOAT, in my eyes, in that sport. And to be able to talk to him about Sam and Charlie and his father. It was a great day.

“I woke up today so proud to be able to post that moment for the world to be able to get a little snippet of our moment together. I took a nap, and I woke up to the news. Just like everybody out there, my thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones because we were all shook at that moment, not knowing what happened with Tiger. So, just that my prayers go out to him and hopefully a speedy recovery for him. And hopefully he gets a chance to get back to doing what he loves to do. And that’s playing the game of golf. And I’m just thankful that he took the time to be able to teach me a few things about the game yesterday.”

In his post, Wade tagged the location as “Golf Heaven.”

He wrote at the time before the news of the crash broke:

The reason I picked up a golf club Yesterday was a pretty cool day! Thank you @tigerwoods @golfdigest for this dope opportunity!
