Jordan Spieth said his wrist tendon popped out on final hole at last year’s British Open

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – While playing a round back home in Dallas last Thursday, Jordan Spieth and Scottie Scheffler realized they were doing physical therapy for their various injuries in the same building.
“We didn’t know we were there at the same time that morning until we got out there and I asked who he did it with,” said Spieth, speaking on Wednesday during his pre-tournament press conference at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, of their hand surgeons.
Scheffler, who injured himself on Christmas and required hand surgery, isn’t the only one set to make his 2025 PGA Tour debut on Thursday. Spieth is making his first start since August at the FedEx St. Jude Championship after undergoing surgery on his left wrist to repair a ruptured tendon sheath. Spieth had been nursing the injury since May 2023, recording just three top-10 finishes, a career low, and tumbling to No. 77 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Speaking at a Q&A with Jim Nantz on Wednesday night, Spieth recounted the moment when his tendon popped out on the final hole at last year’s final round of the British Open and he knew he needed to get his wrist fixed.
“I got it back in before I hit my tee shot, and that’s when I thought maybe that’s the last straw. Maybe we should probably do something about this,” he said. “I don’t really feel like playing like this anymore.”
Spieth had surgery three days after being eliminated from the FedEx Cup Playoffs in August. He said he had a cast up to his mid bicep. He began gripping a putter after about week 8 post-surgery, then began chipping and said around week 11 he started hitting Nerf balls to work on his mechanics.
“A real ball, if I hit more than 40, 50 yards hurt pretty bad on impact,” he said. “Then at around week 12, which is what my surgeon thought it would be of the recovery time, there was a stretch there between like 11 and a half and 12 and a half where I could start to hit on a ball count and I would hit one, say a 6-iron thin off the heel and it hurt real bad.”
He was still on a ball count until about December.
“Then one day the thin heel one just didn’t hurt anymore. I hit it and I was like that should be the exact same as it was yesterday and it just didn’t hurt,” he said.
Spieth said he considered returning a few weeks ago at The American Express but opted to take the advice of some fellow competitors as well as friends in tennis and baseball who advised him that no one has ever come back too late from a surgery.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour

Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
