Show Notes
Gary Woodland, the 2019 US Open champion, secured his spot at the Masters after winning the Houston Open, despite battling post-traumatic stress disorder following brain surgery last year. The surgery, performed in September 2023, was necessary due to a lesion near his amygdala. Woodlands anxiety and hypervigilance led to a challenging experience during the tournament, but with the support of PGA Tour security, he managed to close strong for his fifth career win. As he prepares for the Masters, Woodland is opening up about his struggles to fight the stigma surrounding mental health in sports.
