Jordan Spieth's career has had plenty of ups and downs, but the famous golfer has always tended to stay consistent with his goals. He had various periods during his career, and the last injury in a series created big problems for him. Spieth had to go to wrist surgery last summer, after which he returned to the golf scene after a few months.

The experienced golfer hoped to play at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, but his dreams did not come true. Spieth, on the other hand, will have to wait for the next year, considering that he will not be part of the competition this year.
A few years ago, the American golfer had nothing but words of praise for Arnold Palmer, delighted to have the chance to speak with him after winning the Masters. These are moments that the American golfer will never forget.
"My [Masters] dinner was the last he was there.
Each Masters champion went around telling a story about Arnold Palmer while he was there, and he was tearing up. It was so special."- he said, as quoted by Mirror.
Rickie Fowler
Some well-known names from the golf scene were 'short' for participation in this competition. Rickie Fowler is one such name. Two great friends, Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler, have experienced major downfalls in their careers, but moments like this can only be a stronger motivation for this duo to be even more superior in the future.

Palmer's grandson and organizer of the tournament, Sam Saunders, pointed out in an interview with the media that it was challenging to narrow down the list of players.
In an interview with Golfweek, he admitted that individuals who do the best things on the golf scene get a chance at this tournament. Although he is aware of the frustrations of individuals, Saunders highlighted that it is difficult to make everyone happy with invitations, stressing that he tries to do it as fair and balanced as possible.
