Overview

• The neck spasm struck during warm-up at the Travelers Championship, forcing Spieth to withdraw after 12 holes—the first exit of his 297 PGA Tour starts.
• Spieth traced the injury to a sudden lock of his right scapula and described it as a “weird neck spasm thing.”
• He affirmed his fitness on the Up & Adams Show, confirming there are no lingering limitations to his swing.
• Expecting his third child any day, Spieth said he may be a late arrival at Royal Portrush despite the tournament’s July 17 start.
• Fellow golfer Sahith Theegala has also overcome neck issues and is slated to make his return at The Open from July 17–20.
