News about Gary Woodland

Masters hopeful Gary Woodland sealed one of the most heartwarming comeback stories for many a year on Wednesday by sinking his first career hole-in-one. Woodland, a former US Open champion, only returned to the PGA Tour at the start of the year after undergoing surgery to remove a brain tumor in September. And just over six months on from the op, the 39-year-old hit the first hole-in-one of his professional career at the Augusta National Golf Club.

Tiger Woods is back on the track with NFL quarterback Josh Allen and MLB actor Aaron Hicks on Wednesday, ahead of the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club. As they played in the Pro-Am Wednesday, Woods was joined by some of the Buffalo Bills' signal caller and Angels outfielder as they competed in the Genesis Invitational this week. Woods' PGA Tour debut is in Riviera, 1992, when he was just a 16-year-old boy, but the Tour's 82-time champion has yet to win at the LA course. But he'll be trying to defy the trend this week, starting with his pal Justin Thomas and Gary Woodland at 12.25 p.m. ET on Thursday.

On September 18, 2023, the 39-year-old revealed that he had been diagnosed with a brain tumor and underwent surgery to partially remove the lesion from his left side. For the first time since going under the knife at the Sony Open this week, the 2019 US Open champion is expected to return to PGA Tour action. Woodland, a Tour winner, talked about how he cracked me open all the way down to my ear, so I guess I have a robotic head.' Woodland was speaking at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, Hawaii, about the signs, which began shortly after The Masters' appearance last April and the apprehension he felt.

Gary Woodland, a PGA Tour golfer, has posted a video of himself swinging a club for the first time since undergoing life-saving brain surgery in September.

He announced that his illness had been diagnosed a few months earlier and that he had been trying to treat symptoms with medications.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI of the Daily Mail: Brooks Koepka skipped the cut, walked out to the parking lot at Augusta National and raged with his own vehicle this year. He told the tale from a chirpier place earlier today. 'I shouldn't be saying this, but I did try to break the back window,' Koepka said. Not once but twice.' I'd say it's the first time it didn't go well, so I figured I'd try it again.'

Brooks Koepka and his caddie were cleared of a potential rule violation at the major tournament on Thursday, according to the master's spokesperson. On the 15th fairway, a video from Augusta National's first round, which was posted on social media, showed Koepka's caddie Ricky Elliott saying 'five' to Gary Woodland's caddie. If that had been considered to have been advice on which team Koepka had just joined the par five leagues, it would have resulted in a violation of the rules and a two-shot penalty, but the two were quickly dismissed.

The 33-year-old, who could leapfrog Scottie Scheffler by defending his reputation, established a solid base for his week by launching five birdies and no bogeys, putting him one behind the early leaders Trey Mullinax and Gary Woodland. With a trio of birdies from the fourth round, he gained traction before accumulating two more on the way in, which would indicate that he has lost none of the energy he gained during his three-week break after returning from the Europe circuit. He is certainly not lacking motivation, with the prospect of finishing No. 1 in the standings for the ninth time in his career and closing the gap on a wider career objective that he revealed ahead of the tournament.
