Jordan Spieth and his wife, Annie, have joyfully announced the birth of their third child, Sully, on Sunday morning via social media. The PGA TOUR star and his family are expanding, joining their son Sammy, born in 2021, and daughter Sophie, who is 22 months old.
Career Highlights and Recent Challenges for Spieth
Spieth, who will turn 32 later this month, is a 13-time winner on the PGA TOUR, including five victories and two major championships in his standout 2015 season when he also secured the FedExCup and Player of the Year honors. After a four-year win drought, he ended the streak by winning the 2021 Valero Texas Open. His last TOUR victory came at the 2022 RBC Heritage held at Harbour Town Golf Links, where he narrowly lost a playoff the following year.
Injury and Recovery Impacting Spieth’s 2024 Season
Recently, Spieth withdrew for the first time in his career during the opening round of the Travelers Championship, citing neck and upper back discomfort. This marked a significant moment considering his 297 PGA TOUR starts without withdrawal. Earlier in 2024, Spieth underwent wrist surgery after an injury to his extensor carpi ulnaris tendon (ECU) in May 2023. The condition worsened, prompting surgery on August 21, 2024, in Colorado to repair the tendon sheath. He returned to competitive play at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February, following a lengthy recovery period that included nearly 12 weeks without hitting balls and an additional month before resuming tournament rounds.
Current Performance and FedExCup Playoff Prospects
Currently ranked 48th globally and 46th in the FedExCup standings, Spieth’s position keeps him on the cusp for qualification in the FedExCup Playoffs, which require a top 70 finish after the Wyndham Championship in early August. Additionally, the top 50 players gain eligibility for Signature Events in 2026. This season, Spieth has recorded four top-10 finishes, with his best performance at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson in his home state of Texas, where he shot an impressive final-round 62 to secure fourth place.
The Significance of This New Chapter for Spieth
The arrival of Sully represents a meaningful moment for Spieth amid his ongoing comeback from surgery and striving to regain peak competitive form. Fatherhood often offers athletes fresh perspective, grounding them as they navigate the demands of professional sport and personal life. With his current trajectory in the FedExCup and commitment to health recovery, Spieth’s focus will be on balancing family joy with performance on the TOUR through the remainder of 2025 and beyond.
