Three-time major winner Jordan Spieth is gearing up for one of golf’s toughest tests: the 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club gets underway on Thursday.
As the PGA Tour season heats up, Spieth finds himself in familiar territory, competing among golf’s elite, while weighing in on a question that has ignited debate across sports: Who is the best American athlete right now?
In a video posted by the PGA Tour on X on Wednesday, Spieth was among several Tour pros asked to name the best American athlete currently competing.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Spieth pointed to NBA superstar Stephen Curry, stating, “I mean, I love Steph Curry. Is he the greatest athlete in the world right now? He’s probably one of them.”
With both being flagship Under Armour athletes, Spieth and Curry have a long history together.
Spieth extended his Under Armour apparel and footwear deal in 2022 to run through 2029, serving as one of the brand’s premier golf ambassadors.
Curry, meanwhile, has been with Under Armour since 2013. He launched his Curry Brand sub-label in 2020 and stars in joint promotional and charitable events alongside Spieth as cross-sport ambassadors for the company.
So, Spieth’s endorsement of Curry comes as no surprise.
