McIlroy 'doesn't bear thinking about' golf without Tiger

It's no secret that Rory McIlroy grew up idolizing Tiger Woods. He even wrote the budding superstar a letter as a nine-year-old telling Tiger that he was "coming to get him."

And now that the 18-time major winner has admitted that he's unsure what his future holds as he recovers from yet another back surgery, McIlroy sounds like the rest of the golf world, just hoping this isn't the last we see of Big Cat.

McIlroy posted the following photo on Instagram Tuesday of the two icons on the course captioned:

Wishing my idol and friend a speedy recovery.
