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.
Four years ago, Scottie Scheffler had zero PGA TOUR wins.
In 2022, he won his first PGA TOUR title here at the WM Phoenix Open.
That week, he was priced at $31.00, an implied win probability of 3.23%.
This week, he opens as the $3.30 favourite, implying a 30.3% chance of winning.
Roughly 10× more likely than four years ago.
Since then:
- 43 Top-3 finishes from 86 starts
- 50% of his starts result in a Top 3
- 23 wins
- 4 Major Championships
- Just one U.S. Open away from the Career Grand Slam
When people say this is the closest thing to Tiger we’ve experienced… This is what they mean.
Scheffler becomes the 40th player to reach 20 career wins on the PGA TOUR and the first since Rory McIlroy.
Span between Scheffler's first win and 20th win: 1,442 days. Becomes the second fastest to reach 20 wins after his first title, only behind Tiger Woods (1,351 days).
🚨NEWS: Fernando Mendoza is single and has no girlfriend because he has made it his priority to focus on football and NOT ON GIRLS.
“I don’t have time for a girlfriend. Girls are very distracting. If I have one, I’d give her my all—hanging out, instead of watching extra film”
This will be forgotten but Mike Tirico had one of the greatest calls of all time breaking down Caleb Williams miracle throw on 4th down to send the game to overtime.
