In an emotional interview that aired on the Golf Channel on Monday night, Gary Woodland said he couldn't "waste energy anymore hiding" his battle with post-traumatic stress disorder that he's dealt with since a 2023 brain surgery.

Woodland had successfully undergone the life-or-death procedure to remove a brain lesion in September 2023, but it took an immense emotional and mental toll on the former U.S. Open winner that left him trying to overcome PTSD.

"I can't waste energy anymore hiding this, and I'm blessed with a lot of support out here on the Tour," Woodland said during a lengthy interview. "Everyone's just been amazing. Every week I come out and everyone's so excited and happy that I'm back. I hear that every week — it's so nice to see you past this, it's so nice to see you 100 percent — and I appreciate that love and support. But inside, I feel like I'm dying, and I feel like I'm living a lie."

Since he started his road to recovery, he has had to deal with anxiety and hyper-awareness that are common for someone who has been through neurological trauma.

He said that part of his desire to come forward with his struggles was to help serve as encouragement for anyone else dealing with similar issues.

"I hope somebody that's struggling sees me out here still fighting and battling and trying to live my dreams," Woodland said. "I've talked to veterans, and one thing I've heard from multiple people is you can't do this on your own, no matter how strong you think you are."

He added: "I want to help people, too. I realize now I've got to help myself first – and hopefully this is the first step in doing that."

During the sitdown, Woodland recalled an instance that occurred during the FedExCup in the fall that highlighted how debilitating what he's been going through can be/

A walking scorer had startled him when they had gotten close behind Woodland as he was walking down the fairway.

"I pulled my caddie and said, 'You can't let anybody get behind me.' Next thing you know, I couldn't remember what I was doing. My eyesight started to get blurry," Woodland explained.

The PGA star said that he struggled to continue and that he "couldn't hit" when it was his turn.

"Butch (caddie Brennan Little) said, 'Let's go in.' I said, 'No man, I'm here for these guys. I want to fight through this,'" Woodland continued. "I went into every bathroom to cry the rest of the day. When I got done, I got in my car and got out of there. There are days when it's tough – crying in the scoring trailer, running to my car just to hide it. I don't want to live that way anymore."

Woodland did say the PGA Tour has since put on security protocols that have helped alleviate some of the issues when he's on the course.

The 41-year-old said that his doctors have suggested that he avoid high-stress environments, which professional golf would surely fit into that category, but stepping away from the sport is not something that's ever crossed his mind.

"In an ideal world, I'm probably not playing," he said. "But in an ideal world, I don't have this. This [playing golf] is my dream."

Hurley's contract, which was obtained by the USA TODAY Sports Network, is set to run through June 30 with the Sun Devils. This means, even if the Sun Devils don't elect to renew Hurley's contract, there will be some money going to him if he is let go by the athletic department. Hurley is owed approximately $900,000 if he is fired.

Drew Carey revealed that he lost 80 lbs. in 2010

NEED TO KNOW

• The comedian and host of The Price Is Right said he was motivated to lose weight after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, along with a heart attack that took place in 2001

• He has relied on a low-carb diet and cardio workouts to sustain his weight loss

Drew Careyhas always been open about his weight loss and health journey, which began more than a decade ago.

"I was sick of being fat on the camera. Really, I just got sick of it,"The Price Is Righthost told PEOPLE in 2010. "Once I started losing weight, again, like once I started dropping a couple pant sizes, then it was easy 'cause once you see the results, then you don't wanna stop."

Though it's been 16 years since the longtime comedian dropped 80 lbs. and went from a size 44 to a size 33, he's been able to keep it off using his tried-and-true method of diet and exercise. Carey does "lots of cardio" and keeps most of his meals carb-free.

During a March 2026 appearance onTed Danson's podcast,Where Everybody Knows Your Name, Carey said he had a heart attack in 2001 but didn't realize what it was at first.

The day after he said his "heart rate went upto something really crazy" during a jog. At first, Carey brushed his symptoms off, but when he went to the hospital the following day, he learned that he'd had a heart attack and felt motivated to work on his health.

Here's everythingThe Price Is Righthost Drew Carey has said about his health and weight loss journey.

He prioritized his health after a diabetes diagnosis

During his first year as host ofThe Price Is Right, Carey told PEOPLE in March 2024 he would go out to a diner after filming and order pasta, a cupcake and an iced tea "with a bunch of lemons." Then he'd go home and eat Doritos, drink "several Pepsis" and take an Ambien before heading to bed.

"It wasmiserable to live like that," he explained, adding that his doctor gave him a wakeup call when he diagnosed him with type 2 diabetes. Carey said his doctor warned him that if he didn't change his lifestyle, his life was "going to be shorter" and that he would have "bad things to look forward to."

The formerWhose Line Is It Anyway?star was also diagnosed with heart disease in 2001 and had to undergo an angioplasty, perParade. He also had a stent inserted into one of his arteries.

He lost 80 lbs. in 2010

The warning from his doctor gave Carey the push he needed to change his lifestyle. He toldParadethat in November 2009, he had set a goal to go from 262 lbs. to 170 lbs. by the following year — and almost succeeded, losing 80 of the 92 lbs. he wanted to shed.

"I look in the mirror and I feel like I'm in my 20s again," he told the outlet in September 2010. "I feel like I have my whole life back. I could live to be 100 now."

He does cardio workouts multiple times a week

Carey also credits his choice of exercise for helping him maintain his weight loss. The comedian told PEOPLE he does 45-minute cardio workouts several times a week. Though those workouts began on the elliptical, he took up running after he lost weight.

"I knew having a running goal or a race coming up would give me a little more motivation," Carey toldRunner's Worldin August 2011. "I actually was worried about the pounding, but I actually love running more than working out on the elliptical. Now if I get on the elliptical, I feel like I'm trapped."

In August 2010, he ran his first 10K in nearly 25 years.

He joked he's lost "1,000 lbs." over his lifetime

As the host ofThe Price Is Rightcan attest, keeping the weight off year after year is no easy feat. He joked with PEOPLE that he's lost somewhere around "1,000 lbs." over his "whole life."

Though Carey has noted that weight loss left him feeling great, the best reward was the improvement in his health. In addition to shedding the lbs., the comedian reported that he had reversed his type 2 diabetes and no longer needed medication.

"I always thought I was going to die before I was 60," he toldParade."My father died of a heart attack in his 40s. I'm not an idiot. The writing was on the wall."

He said he mostly avoids carbs

As for his nutrition, Carey has kept the weight off by eating "no carbs." The former host ofThe Drew Carey Showtold PEOPLE that he stays away from "starches of any kind" and opts for protein like grilled chicken and snacks like vegetables and fruit.

Per theMayo Clinic, carbohydrates are part of a healthy diet and are needed to provide a source of energy for the body, particularly the brain.

He called his weight loss "freeing"

Carey has been able to maintain his 80-lb. weight loss "more or less" for over a decade. For him, the real victory isn't physical, but emotional.

"It's better being like this," he explained to PEOPLE. "I love myself enough now to want that for myself and desire that for myself. It's a whole kind of change of mindset that you have to have about your whole life. ... but once you do, it's so freeing."

KILCHBERG, Switzerland March 10 (Reuters) - Chocolate sales are rising faster among U.S. users of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs ‌than in the rest of the population, Swiss chocolatier Lindt & Spruengli ‌said on Tuesday, citing data that defied forecasts the drugs would reduce confectionery demand.

The company said ​an internal study, based on February data from market researcher Circana, found 15% of U.S. households use GLP-1s, representing 17.5% of chocolate sales.

GLP-1s include weight-loss drugs such as Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Eli Lilly's Mounjaro.

Consumers cutting back on high-calorie ‌intake categories, such as pasta, ⁠pizza and potato chips, are still looking for some kind of indulgence, chief executive Adalbert Lechner told a news conference ⁠on Tuesday.

"They are upgrading to premium products. Less is more – small rewards with moment of bliss rather than mindless munching," said Lechner.

Lindt, which makes chocolate Easter bunnies, ​said U.S. ​sales of premium chocolate increased among ​GLP-1 users by nearly 17% in ‌2025, compared to a 6.5% rise among non-GLP-1 users.

Analysts at Berenberg had expected the introduction of oral GLP-1 weight-loss drugs to have an adverse effect on the food industry, particularly confectionery, over the next few years. They anticipated a drag on sales volumes of 0.9 percentage point for Lindt in 2027.

Lechner ‌added that he does not see GLP-1 ​drugs as a threat to future business. He ​expects regulatory approvals in Europe, ​which are anticipated soon, to have a similar impact on ‌consumer behaviour as in the U.S.

GLP-1 ​pills are predicted ​to expand the use of the drugs to patients beyond the users of injectables, including more men and younger patients, as the oral drugs ​are projected to provide ‌less drastic weight loss than their injectable counterparts.

HAVANA (AP) — An impromptu sit-in protest at the steps of Havana University on Monday drew a small group of students concerned about their education amid an energy crisis worsened by aU.S. oil blockade of the island,which has reduced classes and is paralyzing the country.

Cuba Students Protest

Power outages and transportation shutdowns have forced the university to reduce the number of classes or hold them online, though many students are also struggling with slow and unreliable internet.

"We aren't martyrs for any side; we are university students. So, none of us intended to be here, but there has been no other way," said one of protesters, who didn't want to be identified by name due to fear of government reprisals.

The First Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Modesto Ricardo Gómez, stepped out to speak to the students. He acknowledged the financial difficulties affecting higher education, and said they have been made worse by the current standoff with the Trump administration.

"Today we have been tremendously affected by the criminal and genocidal blockade of the United States government, which, without a thought for the people or our youth, is truly massacring an entire society," Gomez said.

On the main streets of Havana, many people had to walk to work or go shopping Monday. Gasoline is rationed to 20 liters per car, and getting a fill-up involvesan elaborate appointment processthat can take weeks.

During a summit in Florida with conservative Latin American and Caribbean leaders Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. will turn its attention to Cuba after the war with Iran and suggested his administration would cut a deal with Havana underscoring Washington's increasingly aggressive stance against the island's communist leadership.

"Great change will soon be coming to Cuba," Trump said at the summit.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel on Saturday described the summit as "small, reactionary and neocolonial."

Trump also said there are high-level talks happening between Cuba and the U.S. government.

The Cuban government hasn't confirmed that meetings are happening.

The gathering in Florida, which the White House called the"Shield of the Americas"summit, came just two months after Trump ordered an audacious U.S. military operation to captureVenezuela's then-president, Nicolás Maduro,ending Venezuela's shipment of oil to Cuba.

Following the capture of Maduro, Trump signed an executive order that would impose a tariff on any goods from countries that sell or provide oil to Cuba, a move that further crippled the island plagued by a deepening energy crisis.

Since then, no oil shipment has arrived in Cuba, which only produces one-third of its own energy needs.
