Jordan Spieth surprised fans by withdrawing mid-round from the 2025 Travelers Championship due to a sudden upper back and neck injury. It was his first withdrawal in 297 PGA Tour starts, cutting short what he expected to be a strong week.
Despite visible pain, Spieth attempted to continue but ultimately stopped after a painful tee shot on the 13th hole. Using a massage gun between shots, he was visibly grimacing before informing his caddie, “I’m done. Can’t do it.”
While disappointing for fans, the withdrawal offers a silver lining for his wife, Annie. Spieth revealed they are expecting their third child in early July, and this break allows him valuable time at home ahead of the birth.
Spieth now shifts focus to recovery and family. With no immediate tournaments planned before The Open, the Texan embraces this unexpected time off, calling the injury “random” but remaining optimistic about both his health and family life.
