Spieth was a star athlete in multiple sports as a child. Baseball was his first love, but he started to put all his focus on golf by the time he turned 12. While attending St. Monica Catholic School in Dallas, Spieth ed Brookhaven Country Club and began taking lessons from famed golf instructor Cameron McCormick.

They are still close friends today.

Spieth finished runner-up at the Junior PGA Championship in 2008 and 2009. He was named the Rolex Junior Player of the Year by the American Junior Golf Association in 2009, as well. The same year, Spieth won the U.S. Junior Amateur at Trump National Bedminster.

In 2010, Spieth made his PGA Tour debut as an amateur at the Byron Nelson Championship. Not only did he make the cut at just 16 years of age, but he also found himself on the front page of the leaderboard on Sunday and eventually finished in a tie for 16th.

Spieth won the U.S. Junior Amateur again at Gold Mountain in 2011 to Tiger Woods as the only two-time winners in event history. By his senior year at Jesuit Prep, Spieth had risen to No. 1 in the AJGA Golf Rankings. He was also named to the U.S. Walker Cup team in 2011, where he went 2-1 in three matches.

In 2012, Spieth made his major championship debut at the U.S. Open by sneaking in as an alternate. He finished as the low amateur in 21st place and became the No. 1 amateur in the world shortly after.

Jordan Spieth became a full-time PGA Tour member in 2013, and although he was only 19 years old, he wasted no time rising to the top of the sport. In July 2013, just two weeks before his 20th birthday, he won the John Deere Classic for his first career PGA Tour victory.

In 2015, Spieth won the Masters in historic fashion to secure his first major championship. Not only did he become the youngest Masters winner ever at 21 years of age, but he also tied Tiger Woods’ 18-hole scoring record at 18 under par.

Two months later, Spieth won the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay for his second major in as many tries. He capped the season off with another win at the Tour Championship and a FedEx Cup title. Spieth won his third major at the 2017 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.

Spieth went through a prolonged slump from 2018-21 in which he failed to win a single event and dropped from No. 1 in the world to No. 92. He worked through some swing changes during that stretch and finally got off the schneid with a win at the Valero Texas Open in 2021. The star golfer is now back where he belongs inside the top 20 in the OWGR.

In all, Spieth has won 13 PGA Tour events and three major championships. He just needs a victory at the PGA Championship to become the sixth player ever to complete the career Grand Slam.

Jordan Spieth Official World Golf Ranking

When Spieth first became a full-time PGA Tour member in 2013, he was ranked No. 807 in the OWGR. He didn’t take long to jump up the rankings, though, as he finished the year at No. 22.

A few months into the 2013-14 season, Spieth cracked the top 10 for the first time. He reached No. 1 in the world in 2015 and spent 20 straight weeks there from November 8-March 20.

Spieth remained in the top 10 from the end of 2014 to the end of 2018, but he fell as far as 92nd in 2021 while he was going through his prolonged slump. He’s since rebounded and now sits just outside the top 10 in the OWGR.

  • Current rank: No. 12
  • Lifetime high: No. 1
  • Lifetime low: No. 1,301
  • Weeks ranked No. 1: 26

Jordan Spieth playing style

Jordan Spieth’s strengths and weaknesses on the golf course have fluctuated throughout his career.

In his early years, Spieth was accurate off the tee but not especially long, above average with his irons, and a wizard on and around the greens. During the 2014-15 season, he ranked seventh on Tour in strokes gained around the greens and ninth in strokes gained from putting, per PGA Tour.

Throughout his prime years, Spieth seemed to have a better chance of making a 25-footer than any other player on Tour had of making a 10-foot putt. That strength mysteriously turned into a weakness in 2017-18 when Spieth ranked 123rd in strokes gained from putting and 181st in putting from three feet and in. It’s one of the main reasons he slipped into a multiyear slump.

Spieth has always been aggressive on the golf course. That mindset has created dozens of memorable shots in big moments, but it’s also led to some big numbers and blown leads over the years.

Jordan Spieth caddie

Unlike many PGA Tour pros who go through multiple caddies throughout their careers, Spieth has employed his caddie, Michael Greller, since turning pro in 2013.

The duo first worked together at the U.S. Junior Amateur in 2011. At the time, Greller was a math teacher making some extra money on the side carrying bags in the Seattle area. Spieth won the tournament with Greller by his side, and the two have been inseparable ever since.

Spieth and Greller have such a great player-caddie relationship because they aren’t afraid to disagree with each other. At times, Greller is able to talk Spieth out of an over-aggressive play, but other times, Spieth can’t be convinced. When the Texan decides to ignore his caddie’s advice, he usually says, “This one’s on me, Michael” before hitting the shot. Even if he’s overruled, Greller will the decision more times than not.

Jordan Spieth wife, children, and family

Spieth has been married to his wife, Annie Spieth (formerly Annie Verrett) since 2018. The couple has been together since high school, and Annie has been Jordan’s biggest fan and system throughout his entire career.

In November 2021, the Spieths welcomed their first child, a son named Sammy.
