Gary Woodland made his triumphant return to the winner’s circle at the Texas Children’s Houston Open two weeks ago. The victory punched his ticket into golf’s elite tournament, the Masters. The Topeka native is set for his 13th appearance in the first major golf tournament of the year on Thursday, April 9.
Woodland’s opening tee time is set for 12:44 p. m. CT as he plays in one of this week’s marquee groups.
Woodland is matched with two-time champion Scottie Scheffler and world No. 8 Robert Macintyre. “I love this place.
