Jim Furyk Said,

“Zero. Zero. I think JT (Jordan Spieth) has the opportunity to pair with a lot of different guys and also be a leader, if that makes sense. Take the young guy under his arm. We don’t happen to have that many rookies on this team, when you look at it. I think Sahith and Russell are two guys that haven’t played either on a Presidents Cup or Ryder Cup team.

We have a lot of veteran status, but JT – I realize I didn’t pick him, but I’m not going to say anything but great things about the guy because I love him to death.”

Following his participation at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, Spieth shared on X (formerly Twitter) that he had undergone surgery on his left wrist. In the post, he added:

Focused on rest and rehab, and I look forward to returning to golf healthy and prepared for 2025!”
