This is a great step forward in stabilizing Saving College Sports. I deeply appreciate @realDonaldTrump’s interest in and focus on saving this great American institution. Now it is incumbent on Congress to continue work on this issue and ensure durability of the system for generations to come, preservation of women’s and Olympic spots, and make sure that this unparalleled American leadership development asset remains intact. Thank you, Mr. President! whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

Major champion Gary Woodland had brain surgery in 2023 to remove a tumor. That tumor was pressing on the part of his brain that controls fear and anxiety. A year ago, Woodland was diagnosed with PTSD that resulted from his surgery. Earlier this month, he went public with his PTSD diagnosis to help himself and others. Woodland is back in the winner's circle ❤️

Gary Woodland is so easy to root for. What a story. What a win!

Gary Woodland is the anti-Tiger Woods in every possible way. Allow me to explain why. Gary Woodland just won the Houston Open by five shots. Two and a half years ago, doctors cut a baseball-sized hole in his skull to remove a brain lesion. He spent two nights in the ICU. There was a real chance he would wake up paralyzed. This is the best comeback story in golf right now and it's not even close. The full story behind today is insane. In 2019, Gary Woodland won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. He finished 13-under and beat Brooks Koepka by three strokes. At that point, Woodland had four PGA Tour wins including a major, and was ranked 12th in the world. Then everything slowly fell apart. After the 2023 Masters, Woodland became consumed by fear. Not regular nerves. Actual, debilitating terror. He was afraid he was going to die. Afraid something was going to happen to his kids. Afraid of falling to his death in his sleep. At the Memorial Tournament in June 2023, he woke up in his hotel room and clung to the mattress for an hour. He was convinced that if he let go, he would fall. His hands were trembling. He had no appetite. Spasms would jolt him awake at night. He was losing focus over putts. Forgetting what club he was holding mid-swing. An MRI finally revealed the cause. A lesion was growing on his brain. It was pressing directly on the part of his brain that controls fear and anxiety. Think about that. The thing responsible for every irrational terror he was experiencing had a physical, medical explanation. His brain was literally being pressed into a constant state of fear. In September 2023, Woodland had a craniotomy. Surgeons removed as much of the lesion as they could, roughly half, because it was pressed against the optic tract of his left eye. They cut off blood supply to the rest to try to stop it from growing. He walked out of the hospital two days later. Started putting again two days after that. He came back to the PGA Tour in January 2024 at the Sony Open. But he was nowhere near the same player. In 26 starts during 2024, he had three top-25 finishes. His best was a tie for ninth at the Shriners Children's Open. For a former U.S. Open champion, those are survival numbers. And nobody knew the full extent of what he was dealing with. Because on top of the brain surgery and the recovery, Woodland had been diagnosed with PTSD. He kept it hidden for over a year. He described being hypervigilant on the course. A walking scorer once got too close from behind and startled him so badly that his vision went blurry and he forgot where he was. He would go into bathrooms between holes and cry. He would break down in the scoring trailer after rounds. He would sprint to his car in the parking lot just to hide it from everyone. He said he felt like he was living a lie. Spending so much energy pretending to be okay that he had nothing left for the actual golf. On March 9, three weeks before this Houston Open, Woodland finally told the truth publicly. He sat down with Golf Channel's Rex Hoggard and revealed everything. The PTSD. The crying. The fear. All of it. He said after that interview it felt like a thousand pounds had been lifted off his back. Then he showed up at Memorial Park. He opened with a 64. Then a 63. Then a 65. Then a 67 on Sunday to close it out. 259 total. A tournament record. 21-under par. Five strokes clear of Nicolai Højgaard. Wire to wire. Led every single round. His first win since the 2019 U.S. Open. Nearly seven years between victories. Brain surgery, PTSD, two years of hiding in bathrooms between holes, and a thousand pounds of weight he was carrying that nobody could see. This is a guy who was a basketball player first. He grew up in Topeka, Kansas, won state basketball titles at Shawnee Heights High School, and played a year of college basketball at Washburn before he realized golf was his future. He won the Courage Award from the PGA Tour in 2025. The seventh player to ever receive it. And now, at 41 years old, with titanium plates holding his skull together, he walked into Memorial Park three weeks after telling the world the truth about what he had been going through and played the best golf of the entire field for four straight days. The full breakdown of Woodland's career, the surgery, the PTSD, and how he got to this point is here: itsgame7.com/news/gary-wood… There is a reason this one hits different. Comeback stories in sports usually involve torn ACLs or shoulder surgeries. Things you can see. Things that heal on a timeline. Woodland's comeback was from something that rewired his brain. Something that turned his own mind against him. And the hardest part of his recovery wasn't physical. It was admitting to the people around him that he wasn't okay. Three weeks ago he said the words out loud. Today he won a golf tournament by five shots.

A 2-star QB scrambling for potentially the national-championship-winning touchdown on 4th down in his hometown against his hometown team after winning the Heisman for the most losing program of all time while his mother with MS screams for joy from her seat is possibly the limit of how good sports can get

NIU head coach Thomas Hammock gave his thoughts on the transfer portal.

GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES MILITARY.

The president offered multiple off ramps, but was very clear throughout this process: the drug trafficking must stop, and the stolen oil must be returned to the United States. Maduro is the newest person to find out that President Trump means what he says. Kudos to our brave special operators who pulled off a truly impressive operation.

"The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country. This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement. Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M., at Mar-a-Lago. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

250 years. One nation. 🇺🇸 America’s 250th birthday celebration has begun! 🎆🇺🇸
