Is Jordan Spieth one of the top players on the PGA Tour? The 3-time major winner was once regarded as one of the most promising talents in the world of golf. His impeccable strokeplay was often admired and that helped him achieve a lot of success early on in his career. Spieth’s comparison to the GOAT Jack Nicklaus was justified when he became only the 2nd player in golf to win 3 majors before the age of 24. But that was 7 years ago!
The Jordan Spieth of today is nowhere near the promise he showed in 2017. The man who had earned 11 titles from the age of 19 to 24 has only added 2 more to his trophy cabinet now that he is 31. In fact, his last win came nearly 3 years ago when he captured the 2022 RBC Heritage title. There are a lot of reasons behind the change in the trajectory of his career. Most of them are believed to be related to his injury troubles. But still, Jordan Spieth remains one of the biggest names on the PGA Tour.
Now we would say that it’s just an opinion of the insiders, but that’s not the case. The PGA Tour officials themselves believe that anything that is synonymous with Jordan Spieth means money. That is why they are still paying him in abundance through the Player Impact Program or PIP.
