The past few weeks have been hard for Jordan Spieth. Being from Dallas, Texas, the golfer was expected to compete in his home-based PGA Tour event, the AT&T Byron Nelson. However, he upset many of his fellow Texas residents after announcing his withdrawal from the event. Despite missing the tournament, Spieth made a special announcement before the final round at TPC Craig Ranch.

After announcing a wrist injury two days before the commencement of AT&T Byron Nelson, Jordan announced his withdrawal. While his absence from the event was missed by many among his large fan following, Spieth made his presence known through a heartwarming gesture on Mother’s Day.

Known to be his biggest fan, the golf pro’s mother, Christine Spieth, has always been around the golfer during his time of need. Though Jordan didn’t compete at the latest PGA Tour event, he had a message for his mother as well as for all the ‘golf moms’ around the world. “Happy Mother’s Day to all moms out there”, said the 3-time Major winner.

Jordan Spieth then gave a ‘shoutout’ to all the moms around him such as his own mom, and his wife, and mother of his son, Annie Verret. The golfer then shared his message by saying, “To all the attendees at the AT&T Byron Nelson this weekend. Hope you’re wearing your pink and supporting those who allowed you to be here”. The theme of Mother’s Day did take over the TPC Craig Ranch on Sunday.

Whether it was signage, tee markers, special flags at every hole, or the players themselves, pink was a dominant color and was prominent on that special day. Even though Spieth wasn’t present to celebrate the occasion with his mother, his message was well received by fellow Texans. Nonetheless, he can postpone his celebration for the special day with a win at this week’s PGA Championship. But is the golfer even competing at the Major?

Though Spieth has won all the other major championships in his decade-long professional career, he has yet to win the Wanamaker Trophy. The 29-year-old golfer can complete his career grand slam at the Oak Hill Country Club this weekend. But with Jordan missing the AT&T Byron Nelson this past week, is he fit to compete at the major?
