Today, Mayor Lucas and Council colleagues will introduce legislation to bring the Royals downtown.
A new $1.9 billion ballpark at Washington Square Park and Crown Center would be the largest economic development project in downtown KC history, with no new taxes and community benefits reaching every corner of the city.
Three weeks after publicly discussing his PTSD diagnosis in the wake of brain surgery, Gary Woodland leads @TCHouOpen by six shots to the final nine.
It's a reminder that anything is possible ⬇️
Amidst a successful TOUR career that counts the 2019 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach among four titles, Woodland took a competitive leave in summer 2023 and underwent surgery to remove a tumor that pushed on the part of brain controlling fear and anxiety.
Woodland returned to competition in early 2024, and this marks his third full season back, but the road has been uneven. He has battled symptoms of PTSD while battling to regain elite form. During one round at the Procore Championship, a walking scorer startled him by standing closer than he might have liked, and suddenly his eyesight became blurry and he couldn't remember what he was doing.
He eventually chose to go public with his PTSD diagnosis, which he received roughly a year ago, to hopefully free himself from the exhausting effort of pretending everything is fine, and also to help others.
“I can’t waste energy anymore hiding this, and I’m blessed with a lot of support out here on the TOUR,” Woodland told Golf Channel after revealing the diagnosis. "I appreciate that love and support. But inside, I feel like I’m dying, and I feel like I’m living a lie.
“I want to live my dreams and be successful out here,” he continued. “But I want to help people, too. I realize now I’ve got to help myself first – and hopefully this is the first step in doing that.”
Since revealing his PTSD diagnosis, Woodland has seen an immediate uptick in results, leading to his virtuoso performance so far at Houston's Memorial Park.
He's nine holes away from one of the more emotional (and popular) victories in recent memory.
@JayhawkTalk Comparable to most recent Chiefs season. “It’s fine, they will get it figured out, it’s early, the talent is there…” Until it wasn’t early and the talent couldn’t make up for poor in game coaching and lack of chemistry. But will we learn from this & make changes for 26/27?
