In a surprising turn of events, golf superstar Jordan Spieth has announced his withdrawal from the Travelers Championship, marking a significant moment in his career.
The three-time major champion took to X on Friday to share the news, revealing that a sudden injury forced him to step away.
“During warmup, my right scap tightened and despite trying to push through, pain spread to my neck and upper back. 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,” wrote Spieth.
This marks Spieth’s first career withdrawal in 297 PGA Tour starts, a testament to his resilience, especially following wrist surgery that sidelined him for much of 2024.
The injury, described as unexpected, adds a layer of concern for fans as the Texan, currently ranked No. 37 in the FedExCup standings, aims to secure a playoff spot.
Despite the setback, Spieth expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support, with messages pouring in from peers and fans alike.
The Travelers Championship, a favorite event for Spieth, saw an outpouring of well-wishes, including from the tournament’s official account, wishing him a speedy recovery.
Speculation now swirls about his preparation for the upcoming Open Championship, with many hoping rest will restore him to top form.
This announcement not only highlights Spieth’s vulnerability but also his dedication, leaving golf enthusiasts eager to see how this chapter unfolds for the beloved athlete.
