Jordan Spieth has wrist surgery and is eager to hit the reset button on his career
Jordan Spieth is on the mend from wrist surgery last week in Colorado
ATLANTA (AP) — Jordan Spieth was in Colorado last week, just like he expected, only he wasn't there for the FedEx Cup playoffs. He had surgery on his left wrist that he believes will eliminate issues that might have bothered him longer than just the last 15 months.
Spieth had surgery on Aug. 21 in Vail — about 100 miles from the BMW Championship — to rebuild the sheath that holds in place the tendon connecting the forearm to the wrist.
He said doctors also scoped his wrist and found bone chips that were removed. They also cleaned up the triangular fibrocartilage complex that stabilizes the wrist and smoothed a bone.
“I feel relief in making the decision and confident that this will solve the problems I was having,” Spieth said. "It’s always one of those where we won’t know until a few months in, as we get strength back, how quickly it will feel normal.
