Tiger Woods has penned an emotional message for the late golf writer Steve DiMeglio. The PGA Tour writer died earlier this week at the age of 63. He was battling cancer.

Woods took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to share a message remembering DiMeglio. He talked about their meeting last month in the Bahamas during the 2024 Hero World Challenge:

“Unfortunately the golf world lost part of our family today, beloved golf writer Steve DiMeglio. 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 a very sad day for all of golf. We have truly lost a friend.”

DiMeglio contributed to USA Today Sports and also worked for Golfweek for years. In 2022, he was diagnosed with renal cancer.

Executive Editor of USA Today Sports, Roxanna Scott, also opened up about DiMeglio’s death and said (via Golfweek):

“He had a passion for golf that was reflected in his writing and all of the relationships he built through the years. I loved seeing the video of Steve being greeted by Tiger in the Bahamas last month. I’m sure that meant a lot to Steve. We will all miss Steve’s thoughtfulness, his updates on his sports bets and his wonderful storytelling.”

DiMeglio was pretty active on X during the time he battled cancer. He used to share updates about his health on the platform.

Steve DiMeglio’s death has left the whole golf world mourning. Golfers from the PGA Tour and the LPGA Tour shared messages on social media remembering the late golf writer.

PGA Tour pro Billy Horschel wrote:

“Sad day for the golfing world. Steve DiMeglio was one of the most well liked and respected people in the media. We had a great relationship and I always loved our banter back and forth. Even with what he was going through, he kept his spirit about him and would still give me a hard time about my clothing choices. I’m going to miss him greatly, as is the golfing world!”

LPGA Tour star Annika Sorenstam wrote:

“@Steve_DiMeglio sorry to hear his passing. He had a passion for our sport. #RIP”

After graduating from Minnesota State University, DiMeglio stepped into the world of journalism in 1994. He started his journey with the Palm Springs Desert Sun.
