As several of Spieth’s fans know, the golfer has a baby son named Sammy. The baby toddler is a year old and has already made headlines for stealing the show at this year’s Masters Tournament.

As perceived at the Augusta National, Spieth is extremely fond of his son. But his antics with his baby child have reportedly left him with the wrist injury we all know about.

The incident was claimed by Spieth himself: “No, it was after I got home. I was just playing with my son. I wasn’t even holding him or anything. I was just pushing myself off the ground while he was like laughing and going side to side. Something just popped and jammed, and then all of a sudden, I couldn’t move it and got on it right away,” he unbelievably claimed.

While the revelation left everyone spellbound, the real diagnosis was termed as a moderate-grade tendon sheath tear. Spieth claimed that the injury wasn’t at a serious stage at the moment, which has helped him contest further events.
