Another awesome story of the 2026 season has been Gary Woodland. After recovering from brain surgery and battling PTSD, he’s just qualified for his first Tour Championship since 2019 by finishing T4 at the BMW Championship. His press conference has it all. Emotion, celebration, and then he also had a laugh about his top off the 9th tee. Gary is playing some incredible golf and it’s so good to see him make it to East Lake. What a story it would be if he won the FedExCup! Gary Woodland PGA TOUR BMW Championship

“It’s okay to not be okay.” Watch as Gary Woodland details for me the post brain surgery PTSD that, some days, leaves him “face-down in bed crying that I don’t want to fight this anymore,” exhausted from “fighting the struggle of my brain shutting down, fighting the struggle of being hyper-vigilant, thinking people are trying to kill me.” In 2026, Woodland is possibly the best story in sports. His brutal honesty and transparency about the minute-by-minute fight against PTSD has helped countless people not feel alone in the struggle. Absolute warrior.

After his inspiring victory yesterday at the Houston Open, Gary Woodland spoke about his decision to open up about his PTSD after recovery from brain surgery: “I've talked to some veterans that told me you can't do this on your own, you've got to talk. “And it was just time. My therapist, my wife more than anybody keep telling me I've got to take care of myself before I can help people. That's hard, I want to help people. “I've realized after the first four weeks when I played how hard it was on me, that I had to take care of myself because I was getting off. “That interview was the first step in that.” This is great advice from Gary on the importance of talking about mental health issues. It’s probable that the freedom Gary felt after that interview at The Players helped him win this week for the first time since the 2019 US Open.

A year after a stellar final round that saw Gary Woodland finish T-2 at the Houston Open, he birdied three of his final four holes Thursday and sits solo second at 6 under. Two weeks ago, Woodland let the world know he was battling PTSD after brain surgery. What has the response been like? "I literally feel like I got a thousand pounds off my back that day. It was hard to do. I was crying going into the interview and I left feeling a thousand pounds lighter. "I have a battle that I'm fighting, but it's nice to not do that alone, I can tell you that. We'll take it one day at a time and continue to get better."

Udonis Haslem shares a story where Gary Payton threatened to hit him with a bat after they got into it at practice 😭 “Riles was in practice running the hell out of us… Something happened in the game an I went over to Gary and told him what happened was his fault. It pissed GP off and he went off on me… I got back at him and we had to be separated. Riley kicked us both out of practice but he made me leave 2nd because Gary told me he was going to hit me with a bat in the back. So Riley made me stay, and made Gary go shower and leave” (Via NBA on Prime)
