Google Trends showed a massive surge in searches Monday morning related to Woodland's own May 2023 brain tumor diagnosis.
His weekend PGA Tour win seemed improbable after doctors found a lesion on Woodland's brain that caused him seizures and anxiety.
The lesion was removed in September 2023.
"Anyone struggling with something, I hope they see me and don't give up," an emotional Woodland said Sunday, according to ABC News. "Just keep fighting."
The National Brain Tumor Society said Woodland's bravery in bringing visibility to his diagnosis and treatment will undoubtedly help other families.
"When you hear those words, 'You have a brain tumor,' you can oftentimes feel very alone," said Suzanne Isbell, senior director of regional development. "Awareness is so important...to finding better treatment options."
Data shows more than 1.3 million Americans are living with a brain tumor today. Another 108,810 people in the U.S. will receive a diagnosis in 2026.
In California, more than 1,800 Californians will die due to a brain or other central nervous system tumor this year.
Woodland said his own brain tumor symptoms included partial seizures, a loss of appetite, and experiencing fear about his own mortality.
While no two brain tumors are alike, Isbell said patients who are experiencing any symptom of concern should see their doctor.
She added the Society is making an impact by not only seeking a cure through research, but showing up for the people who need them most.
"We are looking to better the quality of life of people touched by a brain tumor," Isbell said. "Not just patients, that's also caregivers and loved ones, to let them know that they are not alone in this fight."
Part of that fight includes gathering regularly to raise awareness, and help fund research and Society programs across the U.S., and here in Los Angeles.
The Southern California Brain Tumor Walk is set for May 9 at Griffith Park, in the Crystal Springs picnic area.
Isbell said the family-friendly event is both a celebration, and a chance for people and families impacted by brain tumors to get by with a little help from friends.
"It's, believe it or not, like a 2,000-person support group," Isbell said.
Registration begins at 8 a.m., with the 5K stepping off at 9:30 a.m. Visit the SoCal Brain Tumor Walk website for details.
Griffith Park is at 4730 Crystal Springs Dr., in Los Angeles.
