Golf legend Tiger Woods was among those mourning the loss of PGA Tour writer Steve DiMeglio, who lost his battle with cancer at age 63.

Woods posted Wednesday to X, offering his condolences.

“Unfortunately the golf world lost part of our family today, beloved golf writer Steve DiMeglio,” the post said. “I was always very close to Steve and we texted and talked about how he needed to keep fighting to get better so we could see each other in the Bahamas last month. And we did. I am so grateful for that.

“This is a very sad day for all of golf. We have truly lost a friend.”

Former Golfweek and USA Today golf reporter Steve DiMeglio had numerous connections in the golf world, but he was proudest of his relationship with Tiger Woods, who he famously followed and chronicled.

When DiMeglio, who died at 63 after a two-year bout with cancer, was first ailing, Woods would check in with him consistently, and even sent him an advance copy of his popular video game.

DiMeglio traveled to a handful of tournaments over the past year, most recently to the Hero World Challenge in December in the Bahamas, which is hosted by Woods. He mentioned on social media that he was thrilled to be able to chat with Woods and caddie Joey LaCava.

On Wednesday, Woods used Twitter to pay homage to his friend.

Tiger Woods revealed part of the key to his success was to make sure he hontrolled sweating as the 15-time Major champion reveals head gloves that c sweats a lot when he’s on the green.

It could be down to pressure, down to the weather or simply just how he is, but the 48-year-old explained how he demands his gloves have a lot of grip to handle sweating, which particularly affects his index finger

That’s part of why he launched his own brand, titled Sun Day Red, in partnership with TaylorMade so that he has his gloves exactly how he needs them to give him the best chance of taking one shot off his game.

“Having preparation here, because I used a lot of grip,” Woods said of his Sun Day Red gloves. “And so I tend to sweat in the index finger quite a bit because of my right hand and how it interlocks.

Tiger Woods’ presence on the greens and fairways was sorely missed by the PGA Tour, which achieved a massive spike in ratings during his return to the course.

Over the weekend, Woods competed alongside his son, Charlie, in the PNC Championship in Orlando, Florida. The family affair marked his first time playing since undergoing a sixth surgery on his lower back in September.

Prior to the Father/Son Challenge, Woods’ last tournament appearance came at The Open Championship back in July. Over the last four seasons, he’s only managed to make 13 combined starts on the PGA Tour while battling a myriad of health setbacks.

Though Team Woods were ultimately forced to settle for second place behind Team Langer, the duo provided fans with several unforgettable moments throughout the weekend – perhaps no more memorable than Charlie’s first-ever hole-in-one on the par-3 fourth hole.
