Gary Woodland Competes in Valero Texas Open as Comeback Gains Momentum

The former U.S. Open champion is building on a recent second-place finish while managing ongoing health challenges after brain surgery.

Gary Woodland is competing in the 2025 Valero Texas Open, aiming to qualify for the Masters Tournament with a win.
Woodland recently tied for second at the Texas Children's Houston Open, his best finish since 2019, with a record-tying final round of 62.
He continues to manage fatigue and other effects of a brain tumor surgery performed in 2023, which left remnants of the tumor and scar tissue.
Fan support has played a significant role in Woodland's emotional and physical recovery, providing motivation during his comeback journey.
Woodland has achieved multiple top-25 finishes this season and remains focused on balancing his health with competing at the highest level.
