Jordan Spieth's pre-round warm-up routine

1. Love him👏👏👏

2. Could you please do Luke Donald. Please.

3. Hideki matsuyama please. Why not? He's a great young talent with a superb swing, stellar short game and can hit the ball a mile for his size.

4. There's a reason why he's catapulted himself to #1 in the world so quickly without the overwhelming power those immediately behind him in the OWGR (McIlroy, Day, Watson, D. Johnson, etc.) have, and this is a major reason why. He works at every phase of his game to become the complete player. He knows he can't overpower a golf course, though he's plenty long enough, so he works on the other parts of his game, and that hard work has paid off to the point of four PGA Tour wins, including two major championships, in 2015 alone, and now the #1 ranking.

   But this is nothing new. In the 1972 Masters film, there's a scene of Jack Nicklaus on the practice putting green well after his third round had ended, and he was the only player on the grounds. While Nicklaus obviously had the talent to become the greatest ever, it was his non-stop work ethic, as well as his attention to detail, combined with his physical ability, that really set him apart from all the rest. The same could be said about Tiger when he was at his apex (mid-1999-2005). He had the physical ability, but it was his attention to detail and his work ethic that set him apart from his contemporaries.

   Jordan Spieth may not have the physical ability that Nicklaus and Tiger had, but he has the same work ethic and attention to detail that Jack and Tiger did, and that's a major reason why he's been able to accomplish what he has in 2015.

5. Thank you, weird robot lady

6. Step 1: Adderol

   Seriously though, I'm always impressed by his focus. It's amazing.

11. Muirfield Village…sweet.

12. do a Dustin Johnson preround warm up video

13. great camera work if this was a commercial, but awful camera work for anyone interested in golf. Too many cuts and switches and no chance for the viewer to learn anything from Jordan's actual warm-up swing. A good opportunity wasted. Forget the fancy edits guys – and show us Jordan's warm up swing, the rhythm the timing etc are vital and fascinating to ordinary golfers, but they cannot be appreciated or even seen, if you cut everything to shreds in the editing process.

14. I watched him warm up at the 2015 Heritage Classic, and what I noticed was that he takes every practice shot very seriously.

15. Have you guys seen his shirt seems to change colors from turquoise to sky blue

16. +Craig Ellis No it wasn't, everything else stayed the same, just the camera might've been different

17. After that he goes and plays 18 holes. Damn

18. Just for once I'd love to see it go in the following order: Beer, Putts, Beer, and then hit the course. That's my order.

19. My pre-round routine:
    8 hrs before tee time, sit at desk in front of computer, 7hrs and 30 minute
    30min before tee time: forget clubs, rush back home to pick up
    15 min : put on shoes in parking lot
    10 min: pay green fee
    5 min: swing half dozen times on tee box
    Hook first three balls o.b. partner gives me one more mulligan skank it down right rough.

20. this is just the practice routine to get in the zone, their warm up is like one hour long

21. I wonder what he does at Augusta as they will not let you pull out a phone to record anywhere on the course! I assume he skips that part!

22. 4 Drives…
    We need to learn that score is in short game and putting.

23. How dose that not tire you out before the round

24. My pre-shot routine. To irish coffees on the way to the course. After arrival, a few shots of irish whiskey with my friends. Off to the putting green where we play rake back for $10 bucks a hole. Another irish coffee and off to the range. There I hit 3 gap wedges, 3 pitching wedges, 3 7 irons, 3 5 irons, 3 hybrids, and then 3 drives.
    Pour another irish coffee just before we tee off, so I feel nauseous just before I hit, and then go out and shoot 3 over.

25. First time you will ever see Spieth miss 3 seven footers and not flip out

26. did anyone notice that Jordan's shirt was mint from some angles and light blue from others

27. Why dows this look like it was shot in 2005

28. has potential swing looks a little stiff, he may be on the pga tour one day if he fixes his swing a little bit

29. Warm up

    50 sky high pitches with enough backspin to make it roll off the earth
    If I had the time that is

    Actually I don't warm up
    My warm up is the day before the tournament 😐

30. He makes it look easy

31. PERFECT WAY TO PRACTICE ! CARL WELTY

32. Can you do one of these for Justin Thomas?

33. My pre-round warm-up (true story):

    Sign up for Club Championship at home course
    Train for a year
    Show up an hour early
    Hit a bucket of balls and putt
    Shoot my best score of all time
    Tie for 1st because you missed a 3-footer
    Go to playoff hole
    Hit 2 shots out of bounds
    Don't finish the playoff hole because you exceeded the stroke limit
    Cry yourself to sleep that night

34. Its mind blowing that the best in the world can't even make 7 ft putts everytime. Just amazing how difficult this game is.

35. are you allowed to stamp your foot behind the ball like that?

36. He only hits 4 drives?

37. What happened to the robot lady voice? Yall fired her real quick.

38. This could also be titled “Jordan Spieth’s Pre-Shot Routine”

39. Yeah I bet you the practice range balls they hit are brand new premium Titleist or Callaway balls.

40. 8 irons . so he has multiple 8 irons like 2 or 3?

41. Unfortunately most courses here don't have a practice tee.

42. stalker

43. Thanks! I always wondered about this.

44. Thank goodness for the mute function…..

45. This was rather unsettling.

46. I’ve started doing those putting drills like Jordan Spieth was doing. Stepping off 4 feet, 7 feet, and then 12 feet.

47. To studyy

48. TFM

49. What ever your routine is, I'd probably do something different. Not really working now is it!

50. What kind of shaft does he have on the hybrid and the three wood????
