Back in the limelight on the course where he learned to play the game, Jordan Spieth looked at home on Monday. And home is a place the Texan has been getting mighty familiar with in recent weeks.
Spieth didn’t manage a victory during the 2024 season, and though he did make it to the FedEx Cup Playoffs, he was knocked out after the opening event, the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis. But the three-time major champion had wrist surgery in late August and he’s hoping to make a big comeback once the 2025 season rolls around.
Spieth originally complained of a wrist injury the week before the 2023 PGA Championship, withdrawing from his hometown event, the Byron Nelson, which at the time was sponsored by AT&T. He ended the 2023 season at No. 15 in the world but has since fallen to No. 47 in the Official World Golf Ranking after what he termed one of his most frustrating seasons.
On Monday, as part of the inaugural Crush It! Cup youth golf tournament, a fundraiser at Brookhaven Country Club just outside Dallas — the course where he first honed his skills — Spieth made his first public appearance since the surgery and insisted he’s progressing nicely.
