PGA Tour star Jordan Spieth: "I don't really have any problems with it"
PGA Tour golfer Jordan Spieth has revealed the recovery from his surgery is going to plan and he is now hitting balls without restrictions.
Three-time major winner Jordan Spieth has revealed the recovery from his wrist surgery is going well.
Although the golfer stopped short of confirming whether or not he will be available to tee it up in the PGA Tour's opening event in 2025.
The 2025 season gets underway, as ever, with The Sentry next January in Hawaii.
Spieth told Sirius XM PGA Tour Radio that he has now moved on from having limited practice to being able to hit balls without restrictions.
"It feels good," he said of his wrist. "None of the shots, you know, I don't really have any problems with it."
He added: "No pain, no anything. So now it's kind of just taking care of it, continuing to do therapy probably through the new year.
"And just be prepared to go start playing some golf and be prepared to play three weeks in a row."

Spieth, a 13-time PGA Tour winner, had the surgery on his left wrist in August.
His issues actually date back to May 2023 when the two-time Masters champ injured it at home whilst playing with his son Sammy.
Spieth resisted surgery throughout 2023, opting to continue playing.
But it never really healed and he would continually reaggravate it. He damaged the ulnar nerve, according to the official PGA Tour website.
He felt better at the beginning of 2024, but the pain gradually grew worse as the year wore on.
Spieth revealed that he nearly withdrew from the RBC Heritage in April after the tendon 'popped out' while he was playing out of a bunker.
"I thought I was done for that week," he previously told reporters. But he managed to pop it back in himself.

Spieth's 2024, by his standards, wasn't good. He carded just three top-10 finishes (a career low) and missed a career-high eight cuts.
He didn't make it to the Tour Championship. In the majors, Spieth missed the cut at The Masters, tied for 43rd in the PGA Championship and shared 41st place in the U.S. Open.
His Open Championship was better as the American went 71-74-74-70 at Royal Troon to finish in the top 25.
