Golfer Jordan Spieth turns wrist recovery time into family time

As pro golfer Jordan Spieth recovers from recent wrist surgery, he’s making the most of his downtime by focusing on family life in Dallas. Spieth, unable to golf for now, has found new ways to stay involved in the sport and connect with his community.

He recently appeared at Brookhaven Country Club, where he met young golfers participating in a charity tournament for the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation, which supports pediatric cancer research and junior golf development. Despite his limited mobility, Spieth, who wore a cast during the event, shared updates on his recovery and reflected on his journey, from learning the game at Brookhaven over 20 years ago to his current place in golf.

While Spieth’s career has seen challenges from persistent wrist pain, he is optimistic about his return, hoping to be tournament-ready by January. This break, however, has allowed him to embrace parenthood alongside his wife, Annie Verret, and spend cherished time with their two young children.

Reflecting on the uncertainties of recovery, Spieth expressed determination, stating that he’ll wait until his wrist feels strong enough before stepping back into competition. His resilience, combined with his deep roots in Dallas, underscores his commitment to both his family and the sport he loves.
