PGA Tour star Jordan Spieth with out of the blue announcement
PGA Tour star golfer Jordan Spieth has confirmed he will return from injury at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am at Pebble Beach.
PGA Tour superstar Jordan Spieth has committed to the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. That means Spieth’s 2025 campaign will begin, at the very latest, next month. The annual PGA Tour stop, which has been given signature event status, begins on 30 January and concludes on 2 February. Spieth did not earn entry into the season opener, The Sentry, in Hawaii.
But he could still play in the Sony Open a week later, although he may choose not to rush his return from wrist surgery. “I’m thrilled to return to the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am,” Spieth said in a statement. “This event has always been special to me—both for the incredible setting and the unique format that brings together professionals and amateurs. “It’s a great way to kick off the year and reconnect with fans in a fun, competitive environment.” The American headed for surgery after the Tour Championship in August.
The decision followed a poor season where he recorded only three top-10 finishes – a career low – and missed a career high eight cuts. Spieth, a 13-time Tour winner, had a procedure on his left wrist. The surgery repaired a torn sheath that supports a major tendon.
The injury had been troubling him since May 2023.

Spieth hurt it whilst he was playing with his son, Sammy.
Initially, he chose to rest instead of going under the knife. But over time, it got worse, leading Spieth to make the decision that something had to be done. In fact, he said surgery was ‘inevitable’. “I would say the number one reason why I ended up getting it done was because it affects my way of life at home,” he previously said of the surgery. “Like when it would dislocate and I couldn’t get it back in, it would happen when I’m getting my daughter out of the bath, I’m putting a sweatshirt on or it just so random that it was like, I didn’t want it to continue, and it happened more and more.
“And it wasn’t going to heal itself based on a number of different docs and scans and whatever. So it’s just inevitable.” Spieth, 31, has three major wins and 13 victories on the North American circuit. But he hasn’t won since the 2022 RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links.
