Q&A: Jordan Spieth makes first public appearance since wrist surgery, expects to play ‘at my ceiling’ by Jan. 1

FARMERS BRANCH, Texas — Jordan Spieth didn’t manage a victory during the 2024 season, and though he did make it to the FedEx Cup Playoffs, he was knocked out after the opening event, the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis.

But the three-time major champion had wrist surgery in late August and he’s hoping to make a big comeback once the 2025 season rolls around.

Spieth originally complained of a wrist injury the week before the 2023 PGA Championship, withdrawing from his hometown event, the Byron Nelson, which at the time was sponsored by AT&T. He ended the 2023 season at No. 15 in the world but has fallen to No. 47 in the Official World Golf Ranking in what he termed one of his most frustrating seasons.

On Monday, as part of the inaugural Crush It! Cup youth golf tournament, a fundraiser at Brookhaven Country Club in Dallas — the course where he learned to play the game — Spieth made his first public appearance since the surgery and insisted he’s progressing nicely.
