Jordan Spieth’s short game is world class, and it’s on full display nearly every time he steps on the golf course. One of his most memorable short-game moments was at the Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits in 2021, as Spieth pulled off a miraculous recovery shot from a seemingly ...
Spieth is not chasing yards. He’s keeping his tee shots in play and relying on his irons and short game to challenge the field regularly since finishing tied for fourth in the Waste Management Phoenix Open in February. Spieth ranked in the top 25 in strokes gained/approach the green and ...
Jordan Spieth is a time warp in the game. He plays at an extraordinary level in a fashion built, not from the tee, but from the fairway. A knowledgeable friend likened him to a young Tom Watson. He wins despite the driver, his most challenging club. For three days Spieth was a high-...
Berger hit his drive on the first playoff hole left and into the crowd behind a fairway bunker. Spieth seemed to clip a tree left landing in the fairway but about 150 yards short of his normal drive and 230 yards from the hole. Spieth's approach fell into bunker. Berger's ran off th...

Spieth, who birdied the 18th hole, had to watch as Johnson attempted a 12-foot, 4-inch eagle putt that would have given him the win. But Johnson missed that putt, hitting it 4 feet past the hole. An 18-hole playoff Monday seemed certain, but Johnson missed again from short range, ...
Jordan Spieth’s ascent in golf has been a linear one, a straight line from junior golf dominance to joining the elite in professional golf, while constructing a record of achievement most won’t achieve in a lifetime. He was 16 when he tied for 16th in his PGA Tour debut, 20 when ...
“I think he’s probably a little tired, but as the year progresses, there’s nothing wrong with his game … I sense he’s just not making the putts that he made last year.” An astute observation. Human eyeballs and the PGA Tour’s computers verify that Spieth isn’t converting on...
By early Saturday, Spieth might have been on top of the board, but it was obvious he wasn’t on top of his game. This observation wasn’t exactly a revelation (a shade clairvoyant, maybe): Spieth has sprayed it into the trees twice, and the grandstands once, and it hasn’t cost hi...
