Shortly after Tom’s collapse, PGA of America released a statement to CNN.

“In today's Ryder Cup Celebrity Match, actor and musician Tom Felton experienced a medical incident on the course while participating for Europe. He was transported to a local hospital for treatment. No further details are available.”

The English actor was playing at the sporting event alongside fellow stars Teemu Selanne, Mandy Rose, Toni Kukoc, Mike Eruzione, Stephanie Szostak, A.J. Hawk, Dan Jansen, Alessandro Del Piero, Kelly Slater and Sasha Vujacic.

The incident came just a few days after his 34th birthday, which he celebrated with a post on Instagram.

“33 years done - good lord it’s been so much fun getting here - yet, somehow, I still feel the best is yet to come,” he captioned the photo. “Thank you all for your love, support and sense of humour - let’s keep a good thing going - to the next 33.”
