‘Chronically Impatient’ Jordan Spieth’s Treatment of His Team During Surgery Recovery Shows Golfer’s True Colors

No one can predict the future, and just when you think things won’t get any more messy, they do. For Jordan Spieth, a nagging wrist injury since 2018 finally reached a breaking point last year. By the time of his surgery, the injury had become difficult, forcing him into a cast and keeping him from even gripping a putter for eight weeks. But in a surprising twist, Spieth’s medical break from golf has led to a transformation. For the first time in his career, he physically can’t rush the process, and instead, he’s embracing the grind, level by level.

True, but there’s been a fascinating reveal! In the latest YouTube episode by the 5 Clubs host Gary Williams, an insight into Jordan Spieth‘s personality has emerged. His coach, Cameron McCormick, has been working with him since he was 12 years old. Recently, Cameron shared a fascinating story about Spieth’s early days. Apparently, when the golfer first met Cameron, he bluntly stated that he wanted to win the Masters. According to The Athletic’s Gabby Herzig, who was the guest in this episode, this revelation gave McCormick a glimpse into Spieth’s fiercely competitive nature – a trait that McCormick affectionately describes as “chronically impatient.” “So that was kind of the first indication to Cameron that he was dealing with this kind of chronically impatient golfer,” she said.

As further noted, “Jordan sat down in his office, and before Cameron could even see him hit a ball he told Jordan told him I want to win The Masters.” This level of determination has driven Spieth throughout his career. However, Spieth’s recent wrist injury and surgery have forced him to adopt a more patient approach to his game. Cameron has noticed this shift in Spieth’s attitude, saying that he’s become “easier to work with than ever before.” Spieth’s newfound patience may just be the key to taking his game to new heights.

Jordan Spieth has been pretty open about his injury, sharing some honest insights into what he’s been going through.

What did Jordan Spieth himself say about the injury?

Jordan Spieth’s return to competitive golf after wrist surgery didn’t exactly go as planned. He aggravated his wrist in the first round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, his first competitive round in over five months. Spieth revealed that he felt pain after hitting a bunker shot, saying “I had to flick one and it jammed it pretty good, and it locked up on me for a little while.” This setback was a tough start to his comeback journey, but Spieth is determined to stay positive and focus on his recovery. He knows that it’ll take time to get back to his pre-injury form, and he’s being patient with himself.

Despite the challenges he’s facing, Spieth is staying optimistic and realistic about his chances. “My expectations are low,” he said. “I expect myself to make good swings, but as far as results, it’s hard to think that I should be expecting a lot after six months off essentially.” Spieth is focusing on making progress and having fun, saying “If I can try to post a few scores at or better than today, then you never know, I start getting back in the mix and it becomes pretty fun and hopefully more consistent.” He’s taking it one step at a time and enjoying the process of getting back to competitive golf.
