Jordan Spieth is one of the most beloved figures in golf today. The three-time major winner is always fun to watch for his ability to get up and down from seemingly impossible positions, his hot-mic commentary on his  shots and his banter with longtime caddie, Michael Greller.  

So, it was a shock to the golf community when Spieth suddenly withdrew from the Travelers Championship last week during the first round of play, citing a neck and upper back injury that inhibited his ability to swing without pain. Following Spieth's unexpected withdrawal, it was uncertain what his next move would be. A recent Instagram post reveals what the 31-year-old Texan is up to this week.

In a post on Spieth's Instagram account, the Texas native is pictured taking a selfie with junior golfers at Brookhaven Country Club, Spieth's childhood home course. Spieth was giving a Q&A with the aspiring young golfers during the Under Armor/Jordan Spieth Championship.

"Making his mark ✍️," the AJGA caption reads. 

Another post shows Spieth greeting a junior player with the caption, "Back like he never left "

Fans were happy to see Spieth giving back to junior golfers and gave him props considering his recent injury, with one commenter saying "Well you keep yourself busy doing admirable work with others, even when you’re injured! Kudos to you !❤️." Another noted, "You have done such a magnificent job of balancing personal, professional and giving back. Life is hard to balance for all of us, you seem to be handling it well."

The Under Armor/Jordan Spieth Championship takes place through Thursday and hosts an impressive field of 78 junior golfers, 49 of whom are Texans just like Spieth, looking to follow in his footsteps.
