Jordan Spieth is one of golf’s brightest stars — but behind his calm focus and humility stands his biggest supporter, his mom, Mary Christine “Chris” Spieth.
When young Jordan was eight, he asked to trade swim practice for the golf course. Even though his parents weren’t golfers, Chris trusted his passion — dropping him off each day and letting him chase his dream.She and her husband, Shawn, taught their kids the importance of education, humility, and hard work.
Through it all, Chris kept Jordan grounded, especially thanks to his sister Ellie, who has special needs. Chris often says,
When you see life through Ellie’s eyes… you realize you’re no big deal.
That perspective shaped Jordan’s character and inspired the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation, which supports children with special needs, junior golf, and military families.
