An 82-time PGA Tour winner, Woods famously wears a red shirt and black trousers on Sundays

Tiger Woods offered a heartfelt thanks to his fellow golfers for their tribute Sunday, where many donned the 15-time major champion's signature Sunday red and black for the final round.

Woods suffered a car accident Tuesday and was being treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles with a fractured right leg and a shattered ankle, calling into question the future of the 45-year old's historic career.

With his win Sunday, rising star Collin Morikawa joined Woods as the only two golfers to win a major championship and a World Golf Championship event before turning 25 years old.

Morikawa, 24, took time after his victory to thank Woods directly.
