Jordan Spieth Defies Expectations: Joins Congizant Classic Despite Injury, Ignites Playful Banter with Rickie Fowler
Despite battling persistent wrist pain subsequent to his surgery last summer, Jordan Spieth chose to partake in the Congizant Classic. The seasoned golfer’s decision comes on the heels of a promising start to the new season, revealing his insatiable desire for success. Spieth confessed to setting high expectations for the current season.
His decision to join the tournament was met with humor by his close friend and fellow golfer, Rickie Fowler, during a pre-tournament press conference. Fowler had initially extended an invitation to Spieth to stay at his home but was met with a polite refusal. In response, Fowler light-heartedly remarked, “Yeah, we had a nice tent ready for him. (Laughter.) He would have been all right out back,” as reported by The Golfing Gazette.
Fowler further quipped, “Yeah, between myself and JT, who I know offered up, I think he decided to stay a bit closer. He was here on his own and obviously wasn’t necessarily planning to play this week, so I know they had plans at home, so the kids and wife are back there.”
Despite the jest, Fowler expressed his genuine pleasure at Spieth’s participation in the tournament, acknowledging the unique experience it offers. The 36-year-old golfer also expressed his hope of persuading Spieth to visit his home, primarily for their children who are close in age.
Fowler stated, “But no, it’s great to have him here. I feel like with how he plays and stuff, I feel like this golf course—obviously, he’s a great player. He can play well anywhere. But I think he’ll find it a fun challenge. I know he’s been here a while back, but it’s definitely good to have him here. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get him over to the house a few times. Our oldest is three days younger than his oldest, Sammy, and they’re very close, so she’d be excited to see Jordan.”
Thus, notwithstanding the jesting, it’s clear that Spieth’s dedication to the sport and unwavering commitment to recovery from his wrist surgery have been warmly received by his peers, with a dash of friendly ribbing thrown in for good measure.

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.
