First radiation session done. It was tougher than expected.

Because the tumour is growing out of my head, the mask they clamp on felt like a vice. What used to take a minute was ~20 minutes today.

But it’s done.
1 down, 33 to go.

Step by step we keep fighting.

No Retreat. 💪

A champion everyone can celebrate 👏

Go behind the scenes with the latest PGA TOUR winner, Gary Woodland.

[JTS Brown @brown_jts]

Very emotional and inspirational. Congratulations Gary on the win!

[PGA TOUR @PGATOUR]

"Those letters were the hardest thing I've ever done."

Before brain surgery in 2023, Gary Woodland wrote letters to his family.

The Full Swing @Netflix crew asked him about it, and his raw emotions speak for themselves.

[JTS Brown @brown_jts]

God Bless!

Gary Woodland is the anti-Tiger Woods in every possible way.

Allow me to explain why.

Gary Woodland just won the Houston Open by five shots.

Two and a half years ago, doctors cut a baseball-sized hole in his skull to remove a brain lesion.

He spent two nights in the ICU.

There was a real chance he would wake up paralyzed.

This is the best comeback story in golf right now and it's not even close.

The full story behind today is insane.

In 2019, Gary Woodland won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach.

He finished 13-under and beat Brooks Koepka by three strokes.

At that point, Woodland had four PGA Tour wins including a major, and was ranked 12th in the world.

Then everything slowly fell apart.

After the 2023 Masters, Woodland became consumed by fear.

Not regular nerves.

Actual, debilitating terror.

He was afraid he was going to die.

Afraid something was going to happen to his kids.

Afraid of falling to his death in his sleep.

At the Memorial Tournament in June 2023, he woke up in his hotel room and clung to the mattress for an hour.

He was convinced that if he let go, he would fall.

His hands were trembling.

He had no appetite.

Spasms would jolt him awake at night.

He was losing focus over putts.

Forgetting what club he was holding mid-swing.

An MRI finally revealed the cause.

A lesion was growing on his brain.

It was pressing directly on the part of his brain that controls fear and anxiety.

Think about that.

The thing responsible for every irrational terror he was experiencing had a physical, medical explanation.

His brain was literally being pressed into a constant state of fear.

In September 2023, Woodland had a craniotomy.

Surgeons removed as much of the lesion as they could, roughly half, because it was pressed against the optic tract of his left eye.

They cut off blood supply to the rest to try to stop it from growing.

He walked out of the hospital two days later.

Started putting again two days after that.

He came back to the PGA Tour in January 2024 at the Sony Open.

But he was nowhere near the same player.

In 26 starts during 2024, he had three top-25 finishes.

His best was a tie for ninth at the Shriners Children's Open.

For a former U.S. Open champion, those are survival numbers.

And nobody knew the full extent of what he was dealing with.

Because on top of the brain surgery and the recovery, Woodland had been diagnosed with PTSD.

He kept it hidden for over a year.

He described being hypervigilant on the course.

A walking scorer once got too close from behind and startled him so badly that his vision went blurry and he forgot where he was.

He would go into bathrooms between holes and cry.

He would break down in the scoring trailer after rounds.

He would sprint to his car in the parking lot just to hide it from everyone.

He said he felt like he was living a lie.

Spending so much energy pretending to be okay that he had nothing left for the actual golf.

On March 9, three weeks before this Houston Open, Woodland finally told the truth publicly.

He sat down with Golf Channel's Rex Hoggard and revealed everything.

The PTSD.

The crying.

The fear.

All of it.

He said after that interview it felt like a thousand pounds had been lifted off his back.

Then he showed up at Memorial Park.

He opened with a 64.

Then a 63.

Then a 65.

Then a 67 on Sunday to close it out.

259 total.

A tournament record.

21-under par.

Five strokes clear of Nicolai Højgaard.

Wire to wire.

Led every single round.

His first win since the 2019 U.S. Open.

Nearly seven years between victories.

Brain surgery, PTSD, two years of hiding in bathrooms between holes, and a thousand pounds of weight he was carrying that nobody could see.

This is a guy who was a basketball player first.

He grew up in Topeka, Kansas, won state basketball titles at Shawnee Heights High School, and played a year of college basketball at Washburn before he realized golf was his future.

He won the Courage Award from the PGA Tour in 2025.

The seventh player to ever receive it.

And now, at 41 years old, with titanium plates holding his skull together, he walked into Memorial Park three weeks after telling the world the truth about what he had been going through and played the best golf of the entire field for four straight days.

The full breakdown of Woodland's career, the surgery, the PTSD, and how he got to this point is here:

https://t.co/5ngVyMCs78

There is a reason this one hits different.

Comeback stories in sports usually involve torn ACLs or shoulder surgeries.

Things you can see.

Things that heal on a timeline.

Woodland's comeback was from something that rewired his brain.

Something that turned his own mind against him.

And the hardest part of his recovery wasn't physical.

It was admitting to the people around him that he wasn't okay.

Three weeks ago he said the words out loud.

Today he won a golf tournament by five shots.

[JTS Brown @brown_jts]

So incredibly happy for you Gary! True testament to determination and resillience!!! Time to stand in victory again. Lets Go!

Today is Palm Sunday. My dad succumbed to stage 4 pancreatic cancer today at 4:16am. Doctors gave us 1-3 weeks to live. He made it to two weeks. He was a God fearing man, loved his family especially his grand daughter dearly, veteran, a patriot, and just a wonderful dad! I will see him again! God has promised us this! ALWAYS let your family members know you LOVE them. Every day is a day the Lord has made! We are to rejoice and be glad in it!

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain,for the old order of things has passed away. Revelation21:4

[JTS Brown @brown_jts]

Amen!

Wait a minute. Duke coughed up a 17 point lead in the Elite Eight? I know I’ve seen that before. Hmmm….

[Barstool Sports @barstoolsports]

Less than three years after undergoing brain surgery, Gary Woodland wins on the PGA Tour.

What a moment.
