Jordan Spieth's painful yell signals first-ever PGA Tour withdrawal at Travelers Championship
Jordan Spieth has never had to withdraw from a start at any competitive level of golf in his life, let alone the PGA Tour. There's a first time for everything. After making 297 straight starts at events he was scheduled to play, Spieth withdrew from this week's Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands due to a neck injury. "I've never withdrawn from an event ever, anywhere at any level, so I didn't really know what to do," Spieth told reporters after making his decision, via Yahoo Sports. "It just became too much. … don't know, it's unfortunate. I've been doing everything right, and I think it was just very random." Spieth believes he was sleeping in an unusual position Wednesday night, and the pain began to hit him during practice shots on the range. His usual warmup routine was thrown off, and Spieth left the range early to receive treatment on his neck. But it didn't work. He tested things out on the course, but he looked to be in pain with every swing he made. After 12 holes, Spieth called it quits. He teed off on the 13th hole, but after letting out a painful yell on the tee box, he knew it was time to stop pushing it. Spieth's round wasn't going well. He was 5-over for the tournament at that point. "As I was out there playing, I couldn't, I just wasn't moving very well, and then it just got worse," he explained. "I was just going to try to see if I could somehow get through at even. It's a weird situation with an elevated event and no cut and important points and stuff. "I hit my tee shot on 13, and it legitimately really hurt. …I was like, 'It's only going to get worse to finish the round, and it's not worth it.' I thought that was the time." The 31-year-old three-time major winner and 13-time PGA Tour victor has been searching for a win on Tour since 2022. This season, he's managed four top 10 finishes, but he hasn't claimed a trophy. As of Thursday, Spieth was 37th in the FedEx Cup standings this season. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Jordan Spieth withdraws after 13 holes from Travelers with shoulder blade injury
CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) — Jordan Spieth was forced to withdraw from the Travelers Championship after 13 holes Thursday when tightness in his shoulder blade reached a point he couldn't swing without pain. Spieth said the injury appeared out of nowhere, perhaps from sleeping on it in a bad position. He noticed it on the range, had his physical trainer work on him before teeing off and it never got any better. He was 5 over for his round, with no birdies, when he informed playing partner Luke Clanton he could not continue and was taken off in a cart. 'I've never withdrawn from an event ever anywhere at any level, so I didn't really know what to do. It just became too much,' Spieth said. 'I didn't see it turning around until probably Saturday. These things kind of last an extra day, and no matter what I was going to do, it was just going to be ... I don't know, it's unfortunate. 'I've been doing everything right, and I think it was just very random.' The timing was a blow to Spieth, who got into his first signature event this year without needing to rely on a sponsor exemption. His wife is due to give birth to their third child in a few weeks, and there were no plans to add a tournament before the British Open. Spieth has moved back into the top 50 in the world ranking and the top 40 of the FedEx Cup despite a late start to the season because of surgery on his left wrist last August. He said he felt a tug on both sides of his neck and upper back as he worked through his bag on the range. He stopped the session to get work on it, but as the round began it wasn't getting any better. The next goal was to finish the round because there is no 36-hole cut. 'It's a weird situation with an elevated event and no cut and important points,' he said. 'It's like, 'Well, what's the downside if I can finish, even if it's ugly?' And then I hit my tee shot on 13, and it legitimately really hurt.' Spieth tied for 23rd in the U.S. Open and was on the fringe of contention at the Memorial before he tied for seventh. ___ AP golf:
