Congratulates to 41-year-old Kansas native and 2019 U.S. Open champion Gary Woodland on his emotional and satisfying victory at The Texas Children’s Houston Open, the fifth of his career and first since 2019 and his brain surgery just 30 months ago. Woodland overpowered the field by five shots with precision ball striking and deft putting with a SuperStroke Zenergy Pistol 2.0 putter grip in hand.
Playing with the lead for much of the weekend, Woodland blistered Memorial Park Golf Course with rounds of 64-63-65-67 and a 21-under-par finish. His five-stroke victory capped off one the most inspiring comebacks the PGA TOUR has ever seen with a dominant, victorious performance bookending six-plus winless years and a health journey few professional athletes have ever faced.
Woodland led the field in Birdies (26), Strokes Gained: Total (18.052), and Strokes Gained: Putting (8.325).
“Congratulations to Gary Woodland on a victory at The Texas Children’s Houston Open that had the entire golf world celebrating his inspired success and tremendous comeback from an improbable health journey,” said SuperStroke Vice President of Marketing Ryan Harris. “Gary showed courage, determination, and extraordinary grit and skill on the course. This will be one of the most powerfully memorable wins we see on TOUR this season. On top of everything, he led the field in Strokes Gained: Putting with his SuperStroke Zenergy Pistol 2.0 putter grip in hand as he putted brilliantly all week.”
The Pistol series is a modern take on a beloved classic. These putter grips merge a pistol-style top section that helps golfers lock in their upper hand position with “No Taper Technology” to help golfers maintain even grip pressure and boost the consistency of their stroke.

Enhanced SPYNE® Technology – The new SPYNE® Technology has an improved, embossed ridge along the underside of the grip, engineered to make it easier to square the face at impact.
New Multi-Zone Texturing – Strategically placed texture in high-sensory areas designed to optimize feedback and comfort from the incredibly soft polyurethane outer layer.
No Taper Technology – Our patented No Taper minimizes grip pressure with an advanced parallel design that enables golfers to quiet their hands and add consistency to their stroke.
