Gary Woodland, who weeks ago spoke about stress issues in the wake of 2023 brain surgery, won for the first time since the 2019 US Open by capturing the PGA Houston Open on Sunday. A tearful Woodland had disclosed earlier this month that he still fights post-traumatic stress disorder following 2023 surgery to remove a brain tumor.

Gary Woodland’s victory at the 2026 Houston Open will be remembered as one of the most emotional moments in recent golf history.

Woodland's fifth PGA Tour victory earned him $1,782,000.
