Harry Potter star Tom Felton has taken to social media to update fans on his condition after suffering a "scary" health incident.

The 34-year-old actor assured his followers that he was "on the mend" after collapsing during a celebrity golf match at the Ryder Cup tournament in Wisconsin last week.

"Hello everyone, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the lovely well wishes as of recent," Felton said in the video.

"Bit of a scary episode, really — but on the mend, people have been taking really good care of me. So thank you very much to anyone who has sent messages of get well soon because I am on the mend, officially."

Switching into a singing voice, he added: "Don't you worry 'cause Tom will be doing fine ... So don't you worry, Tom will be doing fine."

Felton was loaded onto a stretcher on the golf course on Thursday after reportedly collapsing at the 18th hole, and driven off for medical attention.

The PGA of America confirmed the incident in a statement to CNN shortly afterwards.

"In today's Ryder Cup Celebrity Match, actor and musician Tom Felton experienced a medical incident on the course while participating for Europe," a spokesperson said.

"He was transported to a local hospital for treatment. No further details are available."
