Who is Gary Woodland’s wife? All about Gabby Woodland as she supports PGA Tour star’s win following health struggles

According to a BBC report, in September 2023, the U.S. golfer underwent surgery to remove a brain tumour that caused fear, anxiety and seizures. He revealed his PTSD diagnosis in early March 2026 during a Golf Channel interview ahead of The Players Championship, a year after receiving it privately.

Woodland shared his recent win with his wife, Gabby Woodland, who has been his backbone amidst his health struggles. Following his victory on the 18th green at Memorial Park, he embraced Gabby as tears flowed from his eyes.

They have been married since 2016, with reports citing their relationship since 2011. They are parents to three children – son Jaxson, and twin daughters Maddox and Lennox. The couple tragically lost Jaxson’s twin in 2017.
