The Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA) has named Gary Woodland as the Ben Hogan Award winner for 2024.
Woodland went from walking the lush fairways on the PGA Tour to an operating table to undergo surgery to remove a lesion on his brain. He has successfully recovered and returned to the tour this season.
Woodland is a four-time winner on the PGA Tour and captured the 2019 U.S. Open title at Pebble Beach.
The GWAA Ben Hogan award is annually given to a player who has continued to be active in golf despite a physical handicap or serious illness.
Woodland will receive this award at the GWAA Annual Presentation Dinner held April 10 in Augusta.
