Former US Open champion Gary Woodland has undergone surgery to remove a tumour on his brain.
He said he had decided to have surgery after consulting specialists and talking with his family.
“After a long surgery the majority of the tumour has been removed,” read a statement on Woodland’s social media accounts.
It added: “At this time, the family requests space and privacy to be together. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers as he gets started on the road to recovery.”
The four-time PGA Tour winner has played in 24 events this year, finishing in the top 10 on two occasions.
