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.

@Luke_Elvy Occasionally there’s a place and time not to post the sensational news. Unfortunate personal and family issues of the rich and famous don’t always have to attract the attention of the press and the small minded amongst us.

This is akin to enabling an addict. What a fckn moron!

One of the best stories in golf. Happy to be apart of it today. Congrats Gary 🤝💪

@Minwoo27Lee Class Act @Minwoo27Lee - your actions display the family upbringing Australia delivered to you and @minjeegolf!

There were not starved of golf….what you infer is they were starved of American golfers taking the American Professional Tour, the @PGATOUR on a global jaunt to far away countries. Not sure American golfers want to uproot their home life, sacrifice the small amount of time they get to spend at home with family. Plenty of home grown golf in every country to provide entertainment.

@AllanCooper @Luke_Elvy @garyplayer @TheBig_Easy @TrevorImmelman @FirstTee @PGATOUR W ⚓️. How are they doing in the rest of the world , haven’t seen anything working in any other country. Just changing their year to choke other tours it’s the reason iLIV works in countries starved of golf.

It’s hard to fathom @garyplayer @TheBig_Easy & @TrevorImmelman all very proud South Africans, haven’t offered a single comment on the sensational scenes in their homeland this week. Is it not possible to even offer congratulations on a superb week for the game & nation? Telling.

I guess you think Anthony Kim and the @livgolf_league AL’ers and Fantasists were licking their chops saying “he’s back” too? At least attempt to fill the fields with competitive golfers, versus the ready made multi millionaires that lost the will to win against very ordinary fields. How does a 12 year absent golfer beat the so called top tier? Smacks of engineered results to snare the sheeple.

@Luke_Elvy There’s a lot of crap on this platform but I like this post. Most of the real world of golf fans know he’s done but the arse lickers and fantasist’s keep the wheel turning. He is possibly the 🐐in golf but it has to stop

I yearn for the day when the world realizes Tiger’s competitive days ended in Feb 2021. By all means laud his greatness (we all do), but please stop with the “he’s back!” rubbish. The most dominant golfer in history has never been the same since that near fatal car crash in LA.

Exactly…..it’s why it was a success in Adelaide and Joburg. Now the key becomes how will @livgolf_league in both countries grow the game with the indigenous communities, that never had and don’t now have access or the financial means to participate. It’s still generally a whites only elitist sport (always has been).

@AllanCooper Love of the game is a huge part of it that people overlook. Demand was high from day 1.

This used to upset/confuse me. Now it’s unsurprising & it exposes the ppl that are paid shills for the establishment. They don’t care about growing global golf bc they can’t even acknowledge it. Ultimately, they only care about 2 things: themselves & their bottom line. Thats it.

@jeffro_05 @Luke_Elvy @garyplayer @TheBig_Easy @TrevorImmelman Imbecile……look at the @FirstTee and all the community involvement created by the @PGATOUR - plus the beneficiary charities.

@AllanCooper @Luke_Elvy @garyplayer @TheBig_Easy @TrevorImmelman PGA tour aren’t helping the game at grass roots levels anywhere in the world

You mean rugby union, the global game for all races? Played by over 10 million players across 134 national member federations affiliated with World Rugby. Participation includes roughly 10 million registered and active players. The sport has experienced recent growth, with reports citing up to 8.46 million participants, including nearly a quarter female, with over 50% being pre-teens. You call that elitism?

@AllanCooper @StephenRoche100 @Luke_Elvy @garyplayer @TheBig_Easy @TrevorImmelman Stick to Rugby, Allan. No elitism in that private school sporting code 🤦🏻‍♂️

@LIVTracking @PGATOUR Says the idiot with the tapping white cane. Imbecile.

Not a single person on the planet is watching the @PGATOUR today. Nobody.

If they were serious and genuine LIV Golf Corporate and PIF would be supporting food programs, and have a significant amount of black South Africans playing in the tournament. Hell….ffs where the all black team? Inspire, include and grow, otherwise they are elitists and opportunists.

@StephenRoche100 @AllanCooper @Luke_Elvy @garyplayer @TheBig_Easy @TrevorImmelman Not to mention the work the Southern Guards are doing to support food programs in schools

@allenk1w1 @Luke_Elvy @garyplayer @TheBig_Easy @TrevorImmelman Go back and look at the gallery before they pumped in the “coloured population” in the ensuring days. Clowns….absolute clown show. Same with all the proponents trying to popularize the “54 now 72 Tour”!

@AllanCooper @Luke_Elvy @garyplayer @TheBig_Easy @TrevorImmelman Bone saw Tour hahaha good one, you think of that? If you watched the broadcast you would have seen a very diverse mix of spectators..

Let’s make golf more appealing to a wider audience, we’ll blare out music get the fans sloshed and while #growingthegame. Sometimes it’s best to leave things as they are and keep traditions such as decency, manners and respect at the forefront of the great game of golf.

Classy @livgolf_league - don’t believe we’ve seen that on the @PGATOUR @DPWorldTour - The LIV Boys growing the game in South Africa! instagram.com/reel/DWMJlqjET…

@ANTi_LIV Please verify @grok

LIV South Africa playing in Johannesburg where the black population is 77% and the white population is 11% The small roped in crowd is all white … LIV Golf is racist for catering to the rich of richest in 100% white Styern City an armed gated community with razor wire. LIV Golf isn’t growing the game is catering to the ultra wealthy with their Saudi propagandists. FACTS #LIVGolf #PGA #Golf #Johannerburg

Iranian women soccer players break free, seek asylum in Australia smh.com.au/politics/feder…

The Italian 🇮🇹 rugby team goes absolutely wild after beating England for the first time ever! In the locker room, they belt out “Nessun Dorma” better than any opera stars 😅

@ProGolfCritic @DPWorldTour If those guys were that important to LIV you would have thought yassir and the boys would have stepped in instead of one of their employees, says more about LIV than it does the DP world tour . Maybe if they lost those guys they could close shop and not have to admit failure
