To battle coronavirus, everyone must play as a team.
That team plays inside, Tiger Woods said.
In a Nike sponsored Twitter post on Saturday morning, Woods encouraged his followers to “play inside” while government officials and medical professionals wage war on COVID-19.
“Now, more than ever, we are one team,” Woods wrote accompanying the Nike sponsored ad.
There are more than 18,900 confirmed cases and 263 deaths in the United States as of Saturday morning. Globally, there are more than 284,000 confirmed cases and 11,868 deaths.
Medical professionals and the White House coronavirus task force have encouraged staying inside for all non-essential activities. While time outside and exercise are encouraged, precautions like social distancing — six feet of space between individuals — and avoiding shared spaces and surfaces must be taken.
“If you ever dreamed of playing for millions of around the world, now is your chance,” the ad read. “Play inside, play for the world.”
Woods’ simple message comes as the golf world questions if it’s safe to play at courses as government officials and medical professionals work to slow the spread of COVID-19.
