As a professional sportsperson, you can influence not only your career but also the lives of millions around the globe. With a fan following like that of Jordan Spieth, there is no question that everyone finds inspiration from his incredible journey. While the Dallas native might only be a shadow of his former self, he is still one of the most beloved golfers in the world. And Spieth is using that to leave a positive impact on the world, just like he always does.
During the Pro-Am event of the ongoing 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge, the 31-year-old stole the show right off the tee. Walking beside him was a 14-year-old boy, Zeke Newberry, a pediatric cancer fighter who has been battling the disease since a very young age. For the entirety of the first hole, Spieth had Newberry caddying for him in an exclusive VIP Experience, partnering with Children’s Flight of Hope.
Speaking of the few minutes he spent with the teenager, the Texan said, “It was the best hole I’ve played this week, to be honest. I made an eagle with him on the bag. I have yet to do that in any other hole.” Seems like Spieth also enjoyed the experience of playing with Newberry on the bag. But their on-course partnership is not all that he had to talk about during his post-round interview. The 13-time PGA Tour winner also shared how he connected with the young fan.
