Jordan Spieth underwent surgery to resolve his wrist injury last month. The 31-year-old, who had complained of issues for several months, went straight into the treatment after his season ended at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Following this, the golfer has now come out to reveal that he will be ready for the new season by January 1, 2025.
Spieth made his first public appearance after the surgery on Monday when he attended a charity event in Dallas. Speaking at the event, the 2015 Masters champion said his goal is ‘to be tournament-ready’ by the new year. The 13-time PGA Tour winner added that he won’t be happy testing the waters by then and would rather want his game to be at the ‘ceiling’ by then.The golfer further said that he’ll soon begin light practice and use his time off to get into pace before making the big comeback.
“I think that by 2025, by Jan. 1, it’s my goal to be tournament-ready. And for me, that would be not just going out and seeing how it feels, you know, but expecting to play at my ceiling. I’ll have an opportunity to work really hard on my short game before I can even swing.
“I should be able to get back to that work pretty soon and hopefully get that really dialed so that I can then prioritize getting back to hitting balls and then eventually playing so I don’t know how long that’ll take because again, like I mentioned before, it kind of depends on how quickly the mobility and the strength comes back, but given my age and the way it’s progressed so far, those our advantages to this recovering. And it’s not uncommon.”
