Jordan Spieth says he is planning to have surgery on his injured left wrist after his season ended with an early exit from the FedExCup playoffs.
Spieth finished nine-over par at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, leaving him almost at the foot of the 70-player field, well short of the top-10 finish he required to advance.
The American first injured his wrist 16 months ago ahead of the 2023 PGA Championship and has tried various treatments since an attempt to avoid surgery.

The issue is a torn sheath in his left wrist that holds the tendon in place.
The problem has failed to heal, and Spieth could never predict how badly it was going to affect him.
Spieth said he’s talked to several people and the recovery is roughly three months, with physical therapy starting after the sixth week.
