Jordan Spieth DQ'd for scorecard error

Jordan Spieth admitted his error after he was disqualified from the Genesis Invitational on Friday for signing an incorrect scorecard.

Spieth unofficially shot a 2-over-par 73 in the second round at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif. That would have left him at 3-under 139, and he would have made the cut to play on the weekend.

However, Spieth made a bogey 4 at the par-3 fourth hole but signed for a 3.

In a statement posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, Spieth wrote, "Today, I signed for an incorrect scorecard and stepped out of the scoring area, after thinking I went through all procedures to make sure it was correct. Rules are rules, and I take full responsibility. I love this tournament and golf course as much as any on @PGATOUR so it hurts to not have a run at the weekend. Really appreciated the support in LA"

Spieth, ranked 12th in the world, had been off to a solid start to 2024. He came in third place at the season-opening Sentry event in Hawaii, then tied for 39th at AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am before tying for sixth last week at the WM Phoenix Open.

The 30-year-old Dallas native has won 13 PGA Tour events, including the Masters and the U.S. Open in 2015 and the Open Championship in 2017.
