“It was a strange deal,” - Jordan Spieth gives major injury update ahead of the Open Championship 2025

Jordan Spieth has given a big relief to his fans by announcing that he will be competing at the Open Championship 2025. The ace golfer revealed in his latest interview that he has recovered from the neck spasm that forced him out of action for a few weeks.

Jordan Spieth is a three-time major champion who was last seen competing at the Travelers Championship in June. During the event, he suffered a neck spasm that ended his week abruptly. Since then, he hasn’t played in any event.

Recently, Spieth joined Kay Adams on the Up & Adams Show, where he gave the latest update on his injury.

"I'm good," he said. "It was a weird neck spasm thing that just came up, and I just couldn't get through the round. But it was a strange deal. I've got a good team here that I work with and, um, you know, I knew it was going to be short-lived, and it was only kind of a few days.

"I've been back to full strength, getting ready for the Open Championship next week, our last major of the year, and then we have our playoffs after that. So, a lot of big events left. Um, but yeah, I have no restrictions, which is great."
