Jordan Spieth's 2026 season mixed frustration and hope. He reached the FedEx Cup Playoffs for a 14th straight year, then missed out on the BMW Championship by a single shot after a tie for 19th in Memphis. He still insists his best golf is close.
For fans who remember 2015, that belief is easy to share. Here is the story of the Dallas kid who won three majors and became world number one. Show your colours with our Jordan Spieth collection.

Early Years in Dallas
Born in Dallas on 27 July 1993, Spieth was a prodigy. He won the U.S. Junior Amateur in 2009 and again in 2011, making him one of only two players to win it twice. The other? Tiger Woods. At just 16 he made the cut at the 2010 Byron Nelson Championship on home soil, and at the University of Texas he helped the Longhorns win the 2012 NCAA title before turning professional in December 2012.

The Teenage Breakthrough
Spieth's first PGA Tour win came at the 2013 John Deere Classic, where he beat Zach Johnson and David Hearn on the fifth hole of a sudden-death play-off. He was 19, the first teenager to win on the tour since Ralph Guldahl in 1931.

2015 and the Claret Jug
Then came 2015. Spieth won the Masters by four shots at 18 under par, matching Tiger Woods' 1997 scoring record. Two months later he lifted the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay, aged 21 the youngest winner since Bobby Jones in 1923. He finished the year by taking the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup, and first reached world number one in August.
The defining moment, though, may be Royal Birkdale in 2017. After a wild tee shot on the 13th in the final round, he regrouped and went birdie, eagle, birdie, birdie from the 14th to beat Matt Kuchar by three and complete the third leg of the career Grand Slam.
