Nixon, 58, was last seen on Saturday morning when he left his house in his SUV en route to a golf course, where he had a tee time. Nixon never arrived, and Woodstock police sought the public's help in locating him.

"He's safe and sound," Woodstock police Sgt. Randy Milligan told Paste BN Sports.

Milligan said further details on Nixon's disappearance would be released at a later time.
