It's true that a brain tumor can cause headache, but then there is an endless list of other causes for headaches, no reason to think about a tumor right away.
If anything brain tumor is the least likely cause, because it's an intense headache which has started only today, a brain tumor grows slowly and the pain would have grown in intensity only during the course of weeks. It's also usually accompanied by vomiting and other signs.
I would take some paracetamol or ibuprofen and try not to panic about it, if the pain persist of course you should get checked, but again, there's a myriad of causes, most harmless and brain tumor not likely at all.
