Following the incident, the PGA of America released a statement to address Felton's incident.
"In today's Ryder Cup Celebrity Match, actor and musician Tom Felton experienced a medical incident on the course while participating for Europe," the message said. "He was transported to a local hospital for treatment. No further details are available."
However, multiple news outlets assumed that Felton suffered from an "obvious" heart attack, but this should be taken with a grain of salt as of the moment.
Does Tom Felton Have Cancer? Is He Sick?
Questions surrounding Felton's health condition rose following the collapse, with some claims that he either has cancer or another medical illness.
