The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am tournament on January 30th saw the return of some big names to the greens after lengthy injuries. Yes, we are talking about frenemies Jordan Spieth and Scottie Scheffler. Scottie Scheffler’s palm injury news is new, but Spieth, in particular, has been dealing with a nagging wrist injury since 2017. This also undoubtedly impacted his performance over these years.
Take his first few wins, for instance. The Texas pro won an impressive 11 titles in the first six years of his PGA Tour career. And how can we forget his signature toss at the final round of the 2017 Travelers Championship, which was also copied by his childhood friend, Justin Thomas at the $20M event. Yes, you read that right.
Justin Thomas, made headlines in the second round of the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am when he holed out from 80 feet for an eagle at the par-5 18th hole. Not just that, the 15X PGA Tour winner, also snatched the limelight by throwing away the club in a similar way Speith did in his iconic 2017 Travelers Win. During the tournament, Jordan Spieth holed out from the bunker for birdie and won in sudden death on the par-4 18th hole.
