Jordan Spieth To Make Tournament Debut In PGA Tour Event After Late Entry
Jordan Spieth Joins Cognizant Classic Field for First Time in Career
Jordan Spieth, a three-time Major champion, made a late entry into this week’s Cognizant Classic, marking his first appearance at PGA National after 12 years on the PGA Tour. Spieth’s comeback from wrist surgery continues into 2025, and the 13-time PGA Tour winner is set to make his debut in the event. Although the full tournament field had already been announced, Spieth was added as a last-minute entry late on Friday. The 31-year-old returned to competitive golf in February after undergoing wrist surgery in August 2024, first playing in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and then showcasing flashes of his former brilliance at the WM Phoenix Open. There, Spieth posted rounds of 68, 65, 67, and 68 to finish tied for fourth. However, his momentum was halted at the Genesis Invitational, where he was among the prominent players to miss the cut. As Spieth prepares for his fourth tournament of 2025, the Cognizant Classic, formerly the Honda Classic, will be his first time playing at PGA National, a notoriously tough course on Tour. The tournament’s field includes 16 golfers ranked in the top 50 players globally, with Spieth currently sitting at No. 67 in the World Rankings. His late commitment to the tournament has shifted the field, making Australian golfer Karl Vilips the first alternate. Vilips was also recently named Sun Day Red’s first ambassador, a clothing brand created by Tiger Woods. Rory McIlroy, despite being a Florida resident and former champion at PGA National, will not be competing this year, marking a notable absence on the line-up. — This rewrite clarifies and tightens up the original content while keeping all key details intact.

Jordan Spieth, the three-time Major champion and 13-time PGA Tour winner, has been added as a late entry to the Cognizant Classic on Friday—marking his debut at PGA National in his 12-year professional career. This decision underscores his unwavering determination to forge ahead in 2025 as he continues his return from wrist surgery.
After the PGA Tour announced the full field for next week’s event, Spieth committed to the tournament just 90 minutes after the lineup was released, securing his spot at one of the tour’s toughest venues. The American, currently ranked 67th in the world, had previously undergone wrist surgery in August 2024 and made his competitive comeback at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February. He then showcased flashes of his former brilliance at the WM Phoenix Open with rounds of 68, 65, 67, and 68 to share fourth place, although he later struggled to find his rhythm at the Genesis Invitational.
Now preparing for his fourth start of 2025, Spieth will face the challenge of PGA National—an event formerly known as the Honda Classic—in a field that features 16 of the top 50 players. Meanwhile, notable absence from the event will be Rory McIlroy, who, despite being a Florida resident and former champion, will be sitting out after his participation last year.
With Spieth’s entry confirmed, Karl Vilips has been named the first alternate. Vilips, who was recently announced as the first ambassador for Tiger Woods’ clothing brand Sun Day Red, now stands ready should a spot open up.
As Jordan Spieth continues his comeback journey, his late entry into the Cognizant Classic is a powerful reminder of his resilience and passion for the game, setting the stage for what promises to be an intriguing chapter in his storied career.

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.
