Pro golfer Gary Woodland and his wife, Gabby, have been together for at least 15 years — married for 10 — and have rarely left each other’s sides.
The couple share three kids together, Jaxson, Maddox and Lennox.
Gary and Gabby have had their fair share of ups and downs throughout the years — from the highs of Gary’s golf triumphs, to the lows of his struggles with recovering from his 2023 brain surgery — but they have stuck together through it all and seem to be stronger than ever.
On March 29, 2026, Gary won the Texas Children’s Houston Open, his first PGA Tour win since the surgery and his fifth career PGA win.
After the victory, the emotional golfer shared a hug with Gabby on the 18th green.

2011
While it’s unclear when the two officially met, the couple was first linked in 2011 when they were seen together while Gary was competing in the World Cup, which he went on to win.
2016
The couple married in 2016 in Turks and Caicos, as Gary continued to establish himself as one of the world’s best golfers. At that point in their relationship, Gary had already won two PGA Tour tournaments, the Transitions Championship in 2011 and the Reno-Taho Open in 2013.
2017
A year after tying the knot, Gary and Gabby announced that they were expecting twins. Tragically, they lost one of the babies after complications with the pregnancy. The second, Jaxson, was born prematurely but healthy.
Months later, Gary was inducted into the Topeka Hall of Fame, where he took the opportunity to pay tribute to Gabby.
“I do want to thank a couple special people in my life and have really helped me get to where I’m at today, and that starts with my wife who is my rock,” Gary said. “She’s taught me more over the last 14 weeks about family and strength and fighting, dealing with the pregnancy we’ve been dealing with. I can’t thank her enough; I love her to death.”
2019
The couple welcomed identical twin girls, Maddox and Lennox, two years after their first child.
2023
In August 2023, Gary announced that he had been diagnosed with a brain tumor and underwent major surgery in September.
Gabby has previously said that navigating the couple’s various challenges has strengthened their relationship.
“The love that we have for each other now is one hundred times what it was a year ago,” Gabby said in season three of the Netflix documentary, Full Swing. “A thousand times what it was when we got married.”
2024
Gary returned to the golf course for the first time since his surgery at the 2024 Masters tournament. Gabby, of course, was right by his side.
He shared a photo of him with his family at Augusta National.
“Always a special day with the family,” he captioned the post.
2026
In March, Gary opened up about his ongoing struggles with post traumatic stress disorder, stemming from his brain surgery.
“I can’t waste energy anymore hiding this, and I’m blessed with a lot of support out here on the Tour,” Woodland said in a March 2026 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.”
Later in the month, Gary won the Texas Children’s Houston Open, his first PGA Tour win since the surgery and his fifth career PGA win.
After the victory, an emotional Gary shared a hug with Gabby on the 18th green.
