Jordan Spieth Plans PGA Tour Comeback at Pebble Beach Pro-Am After Wrist Surgery
Jordan Spieth is set to return to competitive golf at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am following successful wrist surgery in August 2023. The three-time Major winner had been dealing with a persistent left wrist injury that initially flared up before the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill.

The injury significantly impacted Spieth's performance, causing him to drop from 13th to 43rd in world rankings before his last appearance at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, where he finished T68.

Following successful surgery, Spieth reports positive progress, stating: "No pain, no anything. So now it's kind of just taking care of it, continuing to do therapy." The surgery has helped eliminate some unwanted habits that had developed in his game over time.
Looking ahead to his return at Pebble Beach on January 30, Spieth is taking a measured approach: "I'm trying to look big picture. I don't want to put too much pressure on a hot start. I just want to get back into a rhythm."
Currently ranked 70th in the world, the former World No.1 remains confident about returning to elite form: "I want to feel like I step on the tee and I know I'm one of the best golfers in the world. I want things to be in place where I feel consistent enough to believe that day in and day out."
