Jordan Spieth WD at Travelers a Blessing in Disguise for Wife, Annie
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Just hours after expressing confidence in his form and excitement for the week ahead, Jordan Spieth stunned the golf world by withdrawing mid-round from the 2025 Travelers Championship on Thursday. The three-time major winner, who had never previously withdrawn from a professional event in 297 career PGA Tour starts, cited a sudden upper back and neck injury that flared up during his warm-up at TPC River Highlands. Jordan Spieth has withdrawn from the Travelers Championship. 😢 — Spieth Tracker (@Spieth_Tracker) June 19, 2025 "Everything was great in my gym session, and I've been very, very excited to go out and play," Spieth said post-round. "Things have been getting better and better, and then my right scap just kind of locked -- like tightened midway through the warmup," "I just kept hitting, and then all of a sudden it was moving up, everything around it started to -- and then it was over the left and then it was like everything, so I stopped." Despite trying to push through the pain, Spieth was 5-over through 12 holes, visibly grimacing after swings and using a massage gun between shots, per Golf Channel's George Savaricas. After a tee shot on the 13th hole caused a sharp jolt, he turned to his caddie Michael Greller and said, "I'm done. Can't do it. I'm sorry." While the WD is a disappointing turn for fans, it may come as a hidden blessing for someone much closer to home—his wife, Annie.

AUGUSTA, GEORGIA - APRIL 05: Jordan Spieth of the United States looks on with his wife, Annie Verret Spieth and son, Sammy Spieth walk off the first hole during the Par 3 contest prior to the 2023 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on April 05, 2023 in Augusta, Georgia. (Photo by) More Getty Images The 31-year-old revealed during the press conference that the couple is expecting their third child in early July and that this unexpected time off may allow him to be fully present with his family. "We're having a baby here in a couple weeks, so I'll have some time off now, obviously, to get healthy," Spieth said. This echoes his earlier confirmation during a February 2025 appearance on The Smylie Show podcast, where he said, "We have a third coming in July, so it's busy." The timing of the injury is unfortunate given how strongly Spieth felt about his chances at Travelers. "This was 10 out of 12 for me and I was looking at this being the strongest one," he said. A look back at Spieth's first round A look back at Spieth's first round shows how things quickly unraveled. He opened with promise but bogeyed the 1st, 6th, and 7th holes, then dropped two more strokes on the back nine before withdrawing. "I was just going to try to see if I could somehow get through at even," he said. "But then I hit my tee shot on 13, and it legitimately really hurt." The injury, which he suspects stemmed from sleeping in an awkward position, was described as "very random" and unrelated to overexertion. Despite the frustration, Spieth remains upbeat. After a painful tee shot on the 13th hole, Spieth walked off, handed his scorecard to playing partner Luke Clanton, and was carted back to the clubhouse. He'll still receive last-place earnings from the limited-field, no-cut event—but won't collect any FedExCup points, per Tour rules. With no plans to add another tournament before The Open next month, the Texan now turns his focus to rest, recovery and fatherhood. Annie Spieth might just get the best kind of unexpected gift this week: her husband, home and healthy, for what really matters next.

Rick Carlisle Addresses Tyrese Haliburton's Injury Concerns
Rick Carlisle Addresses Tyrese Haliburton's Injury Concerns originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The Indiana Pacers came up with a 109-120 loss in Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder. As bad as the situation is, greater concerns emerge as Tyrese Haliburton potentially suffered an injury in the first quarter of the game. Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle addressed these concerns during his postgame press conference and said: Advertisement "He's not at 100%. That's pretty clear. But I don't think he's going to miss the next game. We were concerned at halftime, and he insisted on playing. I thought he made a lot of really good things happen in the second half, but he's not 100%. There's a lot of guys in this series that aren't." Carlisle's comments will allow Pacers fans to breathe a sigh of relief, a mild respite given the current situation their team is in. Tyrese Haliburton is the engine for the Indiana Pacers. Taking up the role of the primary facilitator, the team's offense is heavily reliant upon Haliburton's presence on the court. The Pacers guard supposedly sustained an injury while being guarded by Thunder big man Chet Holmgren on the perimeter. In an attempt to blow past Holmgren, Haliburton is said to have strained his calf, leading to his eventual exit from the game. Although Carlisle commends the young star for his contributions in the second half, despite being injured, the overall contributions made by him are quite disappointing. Advertisement Haliburton notched one of his poorest performances of the postseason, especially considering what was at stake. With four points, seven rebounds, and six assists to his name, the Pacers guard struggled, going 0-6 from the field and 0-4 from the three-point line. The star's injury certainly played a role in affecting his performance in the game. But the same cannot be said for the rest of the rotation. Barring the ECF MVP, Pascal Siakam, who had 28 points on the night, the rest of Indiana's roster was quite underwhelming. Aaron Nesmith came up with only 14 points and six rebounds, while Andrew Nembhard dropped seven points, three rebounds, and three assists. Even the Pacers' defensive anchor, Myles Turner, was borderline ordinary with 13 points and six rebounds. The team's highest scorer behind Siakam was Pacers' veteran TJ McConnell, who stepped up to the occasion and helped the team cut through the deficit in the third quarter. He had 18 points, four rebounds, four assists, and two steals on the night. Advertisement The Pacers looked unlike themselves on Monday night, and this is not a good sign at this juncture. With the series headed back to Indiana, the team will find themselves in an elimination situation, as Charles Barkley predicted after Game 4. Although the pressure is immense, the Pacers will look to fight another day by securing a win on Thursday at 8:30 pm ET.

Tyrese Haliburton Makes A Statement After Critical Game 6 Win
Tyrese Haliburton Makes A Statement After Critical Game 6 Win originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The Indiana Pacers are now one win away from the championship, and Tyrese Haliburton can practically taste the Larry O'Brien trophy. Speaking up after a must-win Game 6 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the Pacers guard opened up on what inspired his team to victory tonight against all the odds. Advertisement "We just wanted to protect home court, we didn't want to see these guys celebrate a championship on our home floor," said Haliburton. "Backs against the wall, and we just responded. So many guys chipped in, a total team effort. Really proud of this group," said Haliburton. The star point guard also commented on the status of his health and explained why he chose to play tonight despite an active calf injury that limited him to 14 points on 41.7% shooting. "It's the Finals. All of us have to give everything we have, and I'd give everything I have for this group, for this locker room," Hali continued. "My guys have had my back all year, and especially tonight, and that has meant the world to me." Finally, Haluburton revealed his team's approach going into Game 7, which will require perfect strategy and execution to get the win. Advertisement "It's about the margins. It's about taking care of the ball and rebounding; those are the most important things," Tyrese stated. "You have to control the controllables and let the cards fall where they may. It's a one-game series now, and we believe. We got a lot of faith in this group." By all accounts, the Pacers weren't supposed to be here. They aren't the flashiest team or the most star-studded, but they have surpassed all expectations thanks to teamwork, leadership, and chemistry between players like Haliburton, Pascal Siakam, and Andrew Nembhard. Coming in as the fourth seed, very few had the Pacers getting past the first round, but now they are in the NBA Finals and just one win away from winning it all. After losing Games 4 and 5 of the series, the Pacers were pushed to the brink of elimination, but they managed to give a response that has given them one last chance to win. On the road against a Thunder team that won 68 regular-season games, the Pacers will have their work cut out for them on Sunday, but they believe they can win with enough effort and teamwork. The key to their success, as always, lies in the hands of Tyrese Haliburton. Advertisement He may not be at 100% right now, but if he can deliver up to a reasonable standard, it might be enough for the Pacers to close the series out in Oklahoma City. No matter what happens next, this season has already been a resounding success story for the Pacers, and they've proven themselves as a true juggernaut in the East that will be competitive for years to come. As a 2x All-Star set to make $145 million over the next three years, Tyrese is getting the true superstar treatment, but he'll never be counted among them without a championship to his name. With his very legacy at stake, this upcoming Game 7 will tell us a lot about Haliburton and whether or not he can rise to the occasion when needed.
