Jordan Spieth's injury is unsurprising in the golf world. He has been concerned about his performance since sustaining an injury to his left wrist during the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson event. His injury greatly cost him at the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge when he failed to make the cut.
Despite the pain, Jordan Spieth has decided to compete in the Memorial Tournament, which begins on Thursday, June 1, and runs through Sunday, June 4.
However, before the start of the competition, Golf Injury Report had posted about the player's health and according to them, Spieth is still dealing with a left wrist tendon rupture.
Aside from him, Hideki Matsuyama's health is in doubt. The report claimed that he suffers from back, neck, wrist, and ankle problems.
