He was competing in a contest between Europe and America and Brit Tom, who had recently celebrated his 34th birthday, appeared in good spirits wearing a woolly hat, warm jacket and tracksuit bottoms.

In a video circulating online he can be seen strolling across the grass while smiling in front of a cheering crowd, and he even pretended to trip up in front of a fan filming him from the sidelines.

He had earlier posed for photos with his celebrity teammates showing no signs of being ill.

Later that day he collapsed at the 18th hole of Whistling Straits with onlookers immediately rushing to his aid.
