Overview
- Woodland closed with a 3-under 67 to finish a tournament‑record 21-under, winning by five shots over Nicolai Hojgaard in Sunday’s final at Memorial Park.
- The win pays $1,782,000 and secures a late invitation to the Masters at Augusta National in two weeks.
- He revealed earlier this month that he is living with post‑traumatic stress disorder linked to the September 2023 operation that removed most of a benign brain lesion.
- Event staff and his team put crowd‑management steps in place to reduce startle triggers, and he found form with stiffer iron shafts and a new putter that improved control.
- Fans chanted his name as he wept on the 18th green and urged others to “keep fighting,” stressing that his recovery continues even as he returns to major‑championship golf.
