Woodland kicked off 2011 by winning his first PGA Tour Title at Transitions Championship in March and finished the year off with a victory in China at the OMEGA Mission Hills World Cup in November, where he and his partner Matt Kuchar represented the U.S. as the first American duo to win the World Cup in 11 years.
