Right? Who doesn't want to know why Spieth suddenly lost his way on the golf course?

New reporting points to an injury in the weight room. From Morfit's piece:
According to the Golf Channel's Ryan Lavner, Spieth hurt himself most likely while lifting weights and chose not to have surgery. Asked about his injury at the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play Championship on Monday, Spieth said that by compensating with his grip and swing in order to avoid pain, he turned his poor play into a full-on slump.
"I probably fought changes that would have helped me turn things in the right direction a little bit sooner," said Spieth, whose resurgence (FedExCup No. 47) has been a big story in 2021.

Those changes are ongoing. Improvement has been slow.
In the story, he added:
"It was very much a reason," Spieth said of the injury and how it impacted his slump. "But I mean, everybody's got some reason for something that they get off. That was mine, and I certainly could have handled it differently and feel good that right now it's not an issue."
