Jordan Spieth facing major consequence after missing out on share of $20M
Jordan Spieth was forced to withdraw from a PGA Tour event for the very first time on Thursday after the three-time major winner picked up an injury at the Travelers Championship
Jordan Spieth’s injury at the Travelers Championship on Thursday comes just weeks before the final major of the campaign at The Open Championship.
Spieth, who welcomed the PGA Tour’s new CEO Brian Rolapp at TPC River Highlands this week, saw his tournament cut short for first time in his PGA Tour career. The Ryder Cup star was seen competing in discomfort throughout round one, before bringing his tournament to an early end.
He later confirmed he was struggling with a neck and back problem on the range that was only made worse when heading out onto the golf course.
“During warmup, my right scap tightened and despite trying to push through, pain spread to my neck and upper back,” he said on X. “By 13 tee, I realized I had to stop. I’ve never had to WD before, and hate that it happened at @TravelersChamp – a tournament I love. Thanks everyone for the support!”
His injury means he will not get the chance to compete for the $20 million purse on offer at the final Singature Event this season before the FedEx Cup playoffs. As well as this though, Spieth could well miss one of the biggest events of the year in The Open.
The severity of the issue remains unknown, and the 2017 Champion Golfer of The Year could well be in a race against time to be fully fit for the trip to Royal Portrush. Spieth’s issues were clear while competing in round one in Connecticut on Thursday.
Having completed 12 holes, the former Masters champion failed to register a single birdie, making five bogeys on his way round before calling it quits. Prior to the event Spieth had spoken on how he felt his game was beginning to trend in the right direction, making Thursday’s injury even harder to take.
“Yeah, it’s incredibly frustrating because this was 10 out of 12 for me and I was looking at this being the strongest one, and I was very confident about that,” he said after withdrawing. “Everything I had done in practice and the pro-am showed me it’s going to be a really good event. It’s just a very weird circumstance.

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.
