Read our privacy policy Rory McIlroy has revealed that Tiger Woods is “doing better” - and also dishing out criticism - as he recovers in hospital from serious leg injuries suffered in a car accident. “He’s doing better and just I think all of us are wishing him a speedy recovery at this point.” McIlroy was among the players who Woods thanked for the “touching” gesture of wearing his signature red and black for the final round of the WGC-Workday Championship, five days after the 45-year-old’s accident. But McIlroy also revealed that Woods has not been afraid to give his thoughts on the Northern Irishman’s recent form, including a final round of 76 in the Arnold Palmer Invitational. “He text me some words of encouragement before the final round of Bay Hill on Sunday and things didn’t quite go to plan and he was the first one to text me and be like ‘What’s going on here?”’ McIlroy added.
