The 12th hole at Augusta happened.
Still my favorite golfer ever. I won’t stop rooting for him
PLEASE dont trust better help. they were shut down for a scandal many years ago and are now back. They ARE A SCAM. look it up if you dont trust me
He got married.
Jordan is washed up. Will still make money but his game is no where close to what it was. Same with Justin Thomas.
They made their money. Set for life financially and the drive to get better is gone.
Tiger was the rare exception. He stayed hungry even with all the wins and money.
Lets be honest, spieth is a very good golfer but he's kind of overachieved given his talent. The reason why is his putter was on absolute fire for a couple years. I knew once the putter went cold so would his career. Hes never been an overly remarkable ball striker by tour standards
This video didn't really answer the question "what happened to Jordan Speith". Just a rehash of his career. 👎🏻
He has a wife, two children now, is focus is not dedicated to strictly golf for the time being!
Ever since that collapse at the Masters, Jordan has never been the same. I still however believe he can come back. He just has to believe it.
Golf is hard.
The unbelievable fact is that with a lot of the top golfers going to liv…..the competition is watered down….and yet look at his record the past few years…I can’t remember an elite athlete falling so much in his career…..strange…..
I like Spieth but he doesn't seem to have the all around game to compete for Majors. I think it is his driver more than anything else that lets him down. And that is probably especially true when he gets himself in contention. Watching him I'm amazed at how many errant drives he hits and how far off course he hits them. His length is a shortcoming but his accuracy off the tee seems to really plague him.
Jordan Spieth will be in the Golf Hall of Fame. His collapse in the 2017 Masters has happened to many great players, see Jon Rahm in this years Olympic golf final, Rory McIlroy in this years US Open, Arnold Palmer and Ben Hogan in US Open finals. What is not mentioned is Jordan Spieth has had a disease twice that often destroys athletes careers. That disease is mononucleosis. Jordan first came down with this as a junior in 2008, then again in December, 2017. I believe Mono for the second time caused Jordan's decline as a PGA touring pro. It can be a devastating disease, ending the careers of many athletes. Robin Soderling, a Swedish tennis pro, is one of the few players to beat Rafa Nadal at the French Open. That Fall Robin came down with Mono which ended his tennis career. There are viral and bacterial infections that can be devastating to the central nervous system and ruin athletes careers. At least Jordan has been able to continue as a golf pro, and hopefully, for many more years.
i can help him would you believe it
Tell me you don’t actually know anything about golf by telling me the only the big hitters stay on top. Practically EVERYONE on tour can hit the long ball now. It’s the short game that has and always will win tournaments.
No, he’s rich and happy for now. Wait till all his money and stuff runs out and he’ll be motivated again.
if you compare his playing style when he first got on tour to now, you’ll notice that he now overthinks every shot…whereas when he first came on tour, he just played golf.
My brother in law sent me a text a few months ago when Spieth made an eagle on a hole. I sent a reply that said, “Now he needs to figure out what to do on the other 71 holes!!!”
Golf is very difficult to maintain superhero status. The margins for error are extremely small and highly punitive. Golf is this way because, unlike team sports, it exposes the individual. Team sports allow for larger margins of error because other team members can often take up slack for an underperformer. Therefore, the Yankees can be the best team in Baseball for 70 years. Or, the Patriots can be the best NFL team for 10 years, etc. Not so in golf. You own your mistakes alone. Those of us who play golf competitively at an amateur level have a saying when things go bad on the course: "Cuz Golf". What happened to Spieth? Golf happened to Spieth. Just like it did to Jason Dufner, Anthony Kim, Adam Scott, Hunter Mahan, Jimmy Walker, Dustin Johnson, Boo Weekly, Aaron Baddeley, Victor Dubuisson. All amazing players. But, golf is not a destination, its a hard journey on a very narrow road full of hazards and troubles and ever changing spot lights. Staying at the top is impossible. Jack Nicklaus, Sam Snead, Davis Love III, Art Wall are rarities in golf history who had longevity to win so late in life. Maybe Phil Mickelson too. Tiger is arguably the best golfer who ever lived (along with Nicklaus). He's only 48 and will likely never win again (probably). Only 50 golfers in PGA history have 17 or more wins in their career, and only 23 of those have ever played for more than 20 years.
Great player who should FIRE his golf coach an get over to Butch Harmen as soon as he wakes up from having such a lousy swing that cant hold up.
The Chuck Knoblauch of golf.
It doesn't help that he's needed wrist surgery for a year or more
Nothing, every one around him is just that much better.
Jordan got married and has a family. His priorities have changed. He also is lacking confidence right now. He is thinking too much and not trusting his swing. Despite all that, he is still playing well enough to be a top 60 golfer. Hopefully he regains his mojo soon.
Did dude essentially compare writing a YouTube script to playing for millions of dollars in front of millions of people
He got married.
He got married. Enough said😅
Jordans square upbring is what's hurting him now welcome to real life
Jordan got married and it looked to me that he did not even want to be on the golf course this year. Only he knows if he put in the work to maintain top level play. He is making plenty of money. He needs to be like Jack, concentrate on the majors. I know he is required to play in a certain number of tournaments. He needs to schedule them wisely. Burn out is a real possibility.
When you are a neurotic headcase with a dose of compulsion life is hard.
I think after he gets his wrist surgery done, rehabs, and gets back on tour, we may well see the old Jordan again. He really only has to find his putting again. His driving is much improved in both length and accuracy. It is his putting and scrambling that have given him the most trouble over the last couple of years. As for this video, it is a total P.O.S. advertising some bulls–t psycho therapy.
He got married and had kids guy.
saying Arnold Palmer was long has a whole new meaning now
Whatever caused it, I bet cyclists played a part
More reasons to appreciate tigers run
What happened is exactly the same as what happened to Mike Weir. He won in PGA tour, major championships… And then someone convinced him to create a brand new swing, as grown-ass adult man in his 20's. Why?! That swing got you multiple majors. Why would you break it apart and start fresh with a swing coach!?
Hole 12 at Augusta took away his unshakable confidence. Did the same thing to Molinari and Norman.
