At the time, Tom was playing in a celebrity golf tournament that included names like Kelly Slater, Dan Jansen, Mandy Rose, and Stephanie Szostak. Felton was playing with former NHL star Teemu Selänne and 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team captain Mike Eruzione when the incident occurred.
Earlier this week, Felton scared onlookers after he dropped to the ground while playing the Whistling Straits golf course in Kohler, Wisconsin. The actor was photographed on the ground surrounded by a group of people, and many believed he might be suffering from a serious medical ailment. The actor was escorted off of the course laying down on a golf cart but appeared to be conscious.
"I'm on the mend," Tom assured fans. Adding, "I'm on the road to recovery.
He continued, "People have been looking, taking really good care of me, so thank you very much for messages of ‘get well soon,’ because I am on the mend, officially.”

The best part, Tom broke into song while discussing the incident with fans and said, "Don't you worry, Tom will be doing fine."
Interestingly, Felton didn't specifically address what happened on the course. It appears Tom might have just been dehydrated or felt light-headed considering he appears to be totally fine this weekend.
The incident followed Tom reflecting on his 34th birthday, earlier in the week, when he posted on Instagram "Good lord it’s been so much fun getting here – yet, somehow, I still feel the best is yet to come – thank you all for your love, support & sense of humor – let’s keep a good thing going – to the next 33 xx."
