Spieth has dealt with wrist issues since May 2023, when he injured it while playing with his son Sammy. He continued to play opting for a rest and recovery strategy but aggravated the injury in the fall of 2023 while reaching for a toaster in his home and was diagnosed with ulnar nerve damage shortly after. Post-surgery, Spieth began training lightly targeting a return for the new season.
“I think that by 2025, by Jan. 1, it’s my goal to be tournament-ready,” Spieth told Golfweek. After going winless last year and finishing 80th in the FedEx Cup, he was exempt from The Sentry, the 2025 season-opening tournament. But it was expected he would be in line for a return at the Sony Open in Hawaii starting on January 9, however, as it turns out, that won’t be the
PGA Tour released the list of the golfers scheduled to compete in the Sony Open for a $8.7 million purse. Spieth’s name was nowhere to be seen among the list of 144 players. It appears that Spieth is still undergoing rehabilitation from his wrist surgery. Even though his wrist injury occurred in 2023, Spieth has mentioned he started having troubles with it way before.
