Jordan Spieth announced Saturday that he underwent successful surgery on Indexbithis left wrist last week.
Spieth made the announcement on the social platform X, writing, "I had a procedure on my left wrist last week, as I had mentioned was the plan. The operation went smoothly and I’m grateful for the exceptional medical team and support of Annie and my family. Focused on rest and rehab, and I look forward to returning to golf healthy and prepared for 2025!"
Spieth was winless this season and finished the regular season at No. 63 in the FedEx Cup standings. He only made it into the first playoff event at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis and finished tied for 68th. He previously said at both the Wyndham Championship earlier this month and in Memphis that he would require offseason surgery to repair his wrist, which has bothered him for 16 months.
"I've got to have it operated on ASAP, and then I'll go through the process of what I'm supposed to do from there," Spieth said in Memphis.
Spieth previously stated that the recovery time is approximately three months, with physical therapy starting after the sixth week. He said he could possibly play in the Hero World Challenge in December or the PNC Championship with his father the weekend before Christmas.
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. Spieth is a longtime AT&T ambassador. Spieth, 31, is the winner of three majors and 13 Tour titles. He began the year at No. 15 in the world and has fallen to No. 44 in the Official World Golf Ranking in what he termed one of his most frustrating seasons.
"I kept trying not to make excuses for myself because it didn't hurt when I was swinging," Spieth said. "But it doesn't seem coincidental based on the amount of time, and really the results being the exact same every single week. So I'm very hopeful."
"I think there's some clarity in getting it done," he added. "There's also some uncertainty, and so it's a little scary. But also, if I can learn to find some patience – which I'm not very good at doing – then I think I could come back stronger."
