Jordan Spieth is set to play PGA National for the first time as a professional, marking another step in his comeback. His decision was influenced by cold weather in Dallas, his need to prepare for the Masters, and his drop outside the world’s top 50.
This event marks Spieth’s fourth start since wrist surgery sidelined him for months. He remains uncertain about his schedule but aims to regain form by playing difficult courses. His participation adds star power to the Cognizant Classic, a tournament that has struggled to attract top-ranked players in recent years.
With The Players Championship and the Masters approaching, Spieth is focused on sharpening his game. He acknowledges the challenge of balancing rest and competition but sees this event as an opportunity to improve. His ultimate goal is to contend at Augusta and return to the game’s elite ranks.
