Former U.S. Open champion Gary Woodland has undergone surgery to remove a tumor on his brain, his team said on Monday.

The 39-year-old American revealed the diagnosis last month, saying that he decided to move forward with surgery to remove the lesion after consulting with multiple specialists and discussions with his family.
