‘Won’t be Fixed With a Surgery’: Jordan Spieth’s Future Looks Bleak as Fans Make Harsh Predictions After Latest Failure
Alas, the unforgivable golf fans. After several players like Rickie Fowler faced heat from the fans during their recent performances, is it now time for Jordan Spieth? Well, it certainly looks like it. Spieth’s gameplay has been lousy, and the proof is his winless season or seasons (as his last win was the 2022 RBC Heritage). The 2024 St. Jude Championship is also not any different as the golfer has displayed poor performance.
With a lackluster score of 7 over par, Spieth was at the T69th position after round 3. The 13-time PGA Tour winner was second to last. However, there is a reason for his poor performance. Spieth Legion, the golfer’s fan page recently made a post on X, sympathizing with the golfer and blaming his lousy gameplay on his injured wrist. “Just going through the motions, sadly. The surgery can’t come soon enough; it is very hard to watch him struggle like this.” And indeed, it is.
The golfer’s wrist injury occurred before last year’s PGA Championship and has been a lingering issue ever since. Spieth had described it as a “come-and-go thing” and said that it can be triggered by even the smallest actions, like placing his hand on a counter. However, the golfer didn’t opt for surgery, as he believed that didn’t need one at that time. “It’s not really a surgical thing; it’s a rest thing,” he said, according to AP News. Although, that has now changed as Spieth is now planning to have surgery in the off-season.
Fans have watched the player struggle the whole 2024 season. Sadly, Spieth has missed seven cuts this year so far, including one at the Masters. That’s not all; the golfer only has three top-10 finishes, so now you know why his name is under scrutiny this time.
