During the Travelers Championship, Jordan Spieth was struggling<\/a>.\u00a0 During the event, he was seen visibly uncomfortable with his neck as he made his way through the first twelve holes.\u00a0 At one point, he even needed to get on-site treatment before finally ending his 297 consecutive start streak with his first withdrawal.\u00a0 Now, Jordan Spieth has announced that the injury is fully healed and he can get back on the field!<\/span><\/p>\n

Jordan Spieth\u2019s Injury<\/span><\/h2>\n

Since having to pull out of the Travelers Championship, Spieth has confirmed what the exact injury was.\u00a0 According to Spieth, it was \u201cjust a weird neck spasm thing\u201d.\u00a0 He then detailed that he knew it would be temporary; the main issue was that it just hit him during a match.\u00a0 It was bad enough that he had to physically stop and give himself some quick breaks while rubbing the back of his neck.\u00a0 At one point, he had to be treated by a physiotherapist at the course.\u00a0 Eventually, he had to call it in as the pain was just too much to bear for an entire day.\u00a0 An entire weekend of going through that could have put too much strain on the golfer and could have sent him to the hospital.\u00a0 He wasn\u2019t alone that day, Viktor Hovland went through a similar issue<\/a> on the final day of the tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that his neck is no longer having these spasms, he can get back to playing his sport.\u00a0 Unfortunately, he won\u2019t be at the Scottish Open.\u00a0 He has made the decision not to participate in the event to avoid any resurgence of the spasms.\u00a0 Spieth has confirmed that he will be heading to the British Open<\/a> next week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spieth Heading To The Open<\/span><\/h2>\n

Although the ship has sailed for the Scottish Open, it hasn\u2019t for the British Open.\u00a0 Being the final major of the year it would be a great welcome back game for the former champion of the major.\u00a0 In an interview on the Up and Adams Show, Spieth confirmed this<\/a>.\u00a0 He also confirmed that he may be a little late due to some things needed before his third baby arrives.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGetting ready for The Open Championship next week,\u201d Spieth told Kay Adams on the show,\u00a0 \u201cbut I have no restrictions.\u00a0 I’ll be at The Open Championship, I’ll be a little bit of a late arrival… just trying to get all the work in before the baby comes, and then I’ll get overseas.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A silver lining for the professional golfer after dealing with his injury.\u00a0 He can look forward to being a father of three in the near future.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Off To The Last Major<\/span><\/h2>\n

With Jordan Spieth\u2019s injury dealt with, and work based around the baby that\u2019s on the way, fans can look forward to seeing him back on the field after a brief absence.\u00a0 Spieth can also get back to defending his position in the OWGR and the US Ryder Cup.\u00a0 Now the only question is what can everyone expect from the British Open next week?\u00a0 It is still anyone\u2019s guess, but now the field is taking shape for the major, with Spieth there.<\/span><\/p>\n
