Currently ranked 67th, Jordan Spieth has been peaking in and out of the greens for a while now. Take the issue with his wrist. The star golfer sustained a wrist injury in 2023, which got worse in 2024. Unsurprisingly, it resulted in an easily forgettable 2024 season for the American golfer. Case on point? He missed the cut seven times in 2024 and ranked the highest (3) at the Sentry early that year. He easily termed it as the most frustrating season.

This year, Jordan Spieth made his first 2025 season appearance at AT&T Pebble Beach after he went through wrist surgery in late August. Unfortunately, this return was unsuccessful and he finished at T69. He seemed to make some progress in the Phoenix Open, where he tied with Christiaan Bezuidenhout at T4. Unfortunately, he missed the Genesis cut.
We can’t wait to see him peak this season, but the golfer is worried. His frustration with the current form was quite palpable during a talk with Smylie Kaufman on The Smylie Show. In the discussion, Kaufman asked him about the difficulty of making a return this season.
Jordan, in a somber tone, responded, “… for me the Friday night into Saturday was harder than Saturday night into Sunday, because you know Saturday is gonna be the craziest day…. And I knew I did not have my best stuff, like I am working on things pretty brain-on. When the guys I am playing against are not as brain-on. They’re able to… they’re not quite at Scottie’s level, where he’s doing the same thing he’s been doing…” Clearly, Jordan Spieth felt a mix of self-awareness and vulnerability discussing this issue and being outperformed by competitors like Scottie Scheffler.
