We finally know the reason behind the WD from Gary Woodland at the WGC-Dell Match Play last week, and it’s heartbreaking.
After taking care of Emiliano Grillo on Wednesday, Woodland was all set to face Rory Mcllroy Thursday before suddenly withdrawing. At the time, he simply stated it was a family matter.

Woodland is not in the field this week in Houston, but will play the Masters next week. Currently 35th in the world, he has two runner up finishes this season at the Honda Classic and OHL Classic at Mayakoba. Woodland and his wife had announced on March 1 that she was pregnant with twins.
