“I’m done. Can’t do it.”:Jordan Spieth WD at Travelers a Blessing in Disguise for Wife, Annie

Published

on

Just hours after expressing confidence in his form and excitement for the week ahead, Jordan Spieth stunned the golf world by withdrawing mid-round from the 2025 Travelers Championship on Thursday.

The three-time major winner, who had never previously withdrawn from a professional event in 297 career PGA Tour starts, cited a sudden upper back and neck injury that flared up during his warm-up at TPC River Highlands.

Everything was great in my gym session, and I’ve been very, very excited to go out and play,” Spieth said post-round.

Things have been getting better and better, and then my right scap just kind of locked — like tightened midway through the warmup,”

“I just kept hitting, and then all of a sudden it was moving up, everything around it started to — and then it was over the left and then it was like everything, so I stopped.”

Despite trying to push through the pain, Spieth was 5-over through 12 holes, visibly grimacing after swings and using a massage gun between shots, per Golf Channel’s George Savaricas.

After a tee shot on the 13th hole caused a sharp jolt, he turned to his caddie Michael Greller and said“I’m done. Can’t do it. I’m sorry.”

While the WD is a disappointing turn for fans, it may come as a hidden blessing for someone much closer to home—his wife, Annie.

The 31-year-old revealed during the press conference that the couple is expecting their third child in early July and that this unexpected time off may allow him to be fully present with his family.

“We’re having a baby here in a couple weeks, so I’ll have some time off now, obviously, to get healthy,” Spieth said.

This echoes his earlier confirmation during a February 2025 appearance on The Smylie Show podcast, where he said, “We have a third coming in July, so it’s busy.”

The timing of the injury is unfortunate given how strongly Spieth felt about his chances at Travelers. “This was 10 out of 12 for me and I was looking at this being the strongest one,” he said.

A look back at Spieth’s first round shows how things quickly unraveled.

He opened with promise but bogeyed the 1st, 6th, and 7th holes, then dropped two more strokes on the back nine before withdrawing.

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.

Tennis fans across the globe are rallying behind Holger Rune, after the Danish star shared an emotional but determined message following his devastating Achilles injury that abruptly ended his 2025 season.

The 22-year-old, known for his fierce competitiveness and electric energy on court, was forced to retire during the Stockholm Open semifinals after collapsing in pain mid-match against Ugo Humbert. Moments later, Rune confirmed what fans feared — a torn Achilles tendon, one of the toughest injuries any athlete can face.

But instead of silence or despair, Rune chose to face the challenge head-on. In a heartfelt message posted to social media, he wrote:

“It’s gonna be a while before I can step on court again… It’s tough. I had so much joy out there, and it’s unbearable to think I won’t feel that energy for some time. But I’ll be back — stronger, wiser, and more grateful than ever.”

His words, filled with pain yet overflowing with resilience, immediately resonated with millions. Fellow players, coaches, and fans flooded his post with encouragement, calling him a “fighter”, a “true champion in spirit”, and the embodiment of perseverance.

Rune has already undergone successful surgery and, in a move that stunned many, shared photos of himself training from a seated position — refusing to let recovery stop his momentum. The images showed a young man focused not on what he’s lost, but on what he can rebuild.

Even as he faces months of rehabilitation, Rune’s story has become a symbol of mental toughness and grace under pressure. His family and team remain by his side, reminding the tennis world that this setback doesn’t define his career — it refines it.

As one fan beautifully wrote:

“He may be off the court, but his spirit is still winning matches.”

For Holger Rune, this isn’t the end of a season — it’s the start of a comeback story that could inspire a generation. 💥🔥
