There are a few special PGA Tour events outside of major tournaments.
Gary Woodland’s favorite non-major is the Memorial Tournament because it’s hosted by someone who thinks like a player.
“Jack (Nicklaus) treats us so good and obviously he gets it from a player standpoint (and) the golf course is awesome,” Woodland told Golfweek on the latest edition of Quick Hits With.
A four-time Tour winner and reigning U.S. Open champion, Woodland also revealed his favorite club in his back is the 8-iron because he uses it the most. He even said it’s the only club he hits twice when he warms up.
This season, Woodland had four top-10 finishes including a T-3 at the CJ Cup at Nine Bridges before the season was put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Woodland, No. 18 in the Official World Golf Ranking, also talked superstitions, what he’d be doing if he wasn’t playing golf, which course he would play for the rest of his life if he had to pick one and the weirdest thing in his golf bag.
