Woods shared a heartfelt moment with the beloved golf writer last month at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.

Tiger Woods is among the golfing stars to have paid tribute to USA Today and Golfweek writer Steve DiMeglio, who has passed away after a battle with cancer.

TIGER WOODS has led the tributes following the death of legendary golf writer Steve DiMeglio aged 63. DiMeglio passed away this week following a battle with rectal cancer that spread to his liver.

When DiMeglio, who died at 63 after a two-year bout with cancer, was first ailing, Woods would check in with him consistently.
