Tom Felton Collapsed During a Celebrity Golf Tournament
He was brought to a nearby hospital.
Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter film franchise, collapsed on a golf course on Sept. 23 and was brought to hospital.
Felton was playing as part of the Ryder Cup celebrity match on Whistling Straits Golf Course in Wisconsin, alongside sports pros including hockey players Teemu Selanne and Mike Eurzione, and speed skater Dan Jansen, according to Golf Digest.
A representative for the Professional Golfers' Association of America said in a statement, "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."
Felton was conscious while being carted off the course, but there have been no updates since.
It's unclear at what stage Felton collapsed, but his team did win the matches, according to Getty Images.
Felton had recently posted a promo video for the Omega European Masters in which he participated, and a photo of himself practicing his swing. He captioned this photo, "Whack."
