The “Harry Potter” star was carried off a golf course after experiencing a “medical incident” last Thursday, Sept. 23, as per a statement by the Professional Golfers’ Association of America via BBC. Felton was participating in a celebrity match ahead of the Ryder Cup. He was conscious when he was transported from the event.

“Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the lovely well wishes as of recent. Yeah, it was a bit of a scary episode, really. But I’m on the mend,” he said.
Felton added that other people have been looking out for him and taking “really good care” of him. He then played his guitar and sang, “Don’t you worry, Tom will be doing fine.”
