@TheHerd @colincowherd @ryenarussillo Lakers have handled Twolves with ease this year and I’m not scared of Denver. Lakers can beat Spurs too. OKC, hurts to admit, will be too much for the Lakers though.

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.

Gary Woodland just hit 196 ball speed on the golf course. 360 yard drive. Thats 5MPH faster than Bryson’s “Beefcake” year average when he added 40 pounds to get longer. Gary is doing this at 42 without looking noticeably different than he ever has.

@NBATourDates Wemby only playing 50% of the court, smh...I’m half joking, but just shows it’s easier to be consistent with your play on the defensive end. Not so easy on the offensive end. That is why people say, shots may not be falling, but you can still play defense.

@IrishDawg04 @KevinOConnor @JLin7 Stupid take. Not everyone has experience with the game. For example, there’s this group of people called kids who may just be getting into the game.
English

@KevinOConnor @JLin7 I love Lin but this is the most basic basketball concept ever.

Man @JLin7 is awesome at this
Oh No He Didn't@ohnohedidnt24

@ericljaffe She’s so full of shit. She’s trying to get back all the people she told to go fuck themselves 5 years ago

@Stealth40k I don’t think he has to do anything, it seems he really loves the role and embraces being part of Nintendo history.
English

@_NewsView @wilderr67 @Acyn He’s taking about wasting money while fighting a fake war. Probably about time to get you head out of his ass.
English

@wilderr67 @Acyn He’s talking about wasted money and how the government is notorious for cost overruns, whether it’s $100 staplers that cost $15 at an office supply store or military contracts.
The clip is missing context because we don’t see what he says before or afterward.

Trump: You see this pen right here? This pen is very inexpensive. But it writes well. I like it. Sharpie. I came here. They had $1,000 pens. You hand out pens. You hand them to people. 30, 40 people. They were $1,000 a piece. Beautiful pen, ball point. I hand out to kids that don't know. It's kid getting a pen for $1,000. They have no idea what it is.
I had another problem. They didn’t write well. I sign—no ink. I have all you people looking and say there must be something wrong with Trump. There is no ink in the pen. It cost $1,000.

@DannyDeraney @NorCalU1 I’ve gone to many games at Dodger Stadium where fans of the Phillies, Reds, Cardinals, Cubs and Giants as well as Mets and Yankees have outnumbered Dodger fans.
English

@theagileviking @nunyabidness405 @Honestly_Jake Sounds more like bad business from the teams who can’t do it.
English

@nunyabidness405 @Honestly_Jake Smaller market teams cannot guarantee revenue or future revenue the way the Dodgers can to do this. So is it allowed via the CBA? Yes. Does that mean other teams can easily do it? No.

@Wizelycook It looked like Luka may have messed up on the set play. It had to do with screen action with him and Lebron at the baseline right before Luka got the pass for the score.
English

Did anyone ever figure out why he apologized here

@ConcernedApe @HJP75 Does It have gameshare? It would be a great addition

@Mario66857374 @thisishowuball @NBAOfficial @NBAPR It doesn’t carry over. The count resets and you get suspended after a 7th tech in the playoffs.
English

@thisishowuball @NBAOfficial @NBAPR This actually is an Evil move by the NBA. They will give him a tech in playoffs so he misses a Crucial Game. Evil as fuck

@marcotdkrises @xgramiliki So you are a sheep who only plays games you are told to play. You can’t make original opinions and thoughts.
English

@xgramiliki É uma merda pô. Abaixo de 90 eu nem toco. Recomendo fortemente o afastamento deste game.

@FoxSportsRadio @OddCoupleFSR @robparkerMLBbro @Kdubblive This guy is making his decision based on what everyone else is saying. Can’t make this shit up. Use your own brain and eyes. And the complaining thing…oh please, all the stars complain especially SGA.

@J5M1A2 @GoldenKnightGFX Nothing has changed though. Luka was already top 1-2 player, now he’s just distancing himself even more from the field.
English

@SCHNEIDKRAUT @statmuse He only has missed 4 more games than Luka
English

If you want the most consistent player this season, it’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Luka is high-usage and high-volume, but SGA is putting up 31.5 PPG with way fewer turnovers and elite perimeter defense. There’s a reason he’s leading the league in Win Shares (13.5) right now. Luka has the flash, but Shai has the formula.
