Jordan Spieth's Career Highlights

Jordan Spieth's Game

Jordan Spieth has never been the longest hitter on the tour. He wins with his mind, his hands, and his putter. His swing—compact and somewhat unconventional, with his left arm bending at the finish—allows him, above all, to control the clubface and shape his shots. He’s a player who relies on feel, visualizing each shot before he plays it and talking extensively with his caddie to develop his strategy.

Jordan Spieth's putting

On the greens, Jordan Spieth is known for looking at the hole rather than the ball on short putts—a way to free up his swing and stop thinking about technique. His pre-shot routine is very consistent: reading the slope, determining the speed, taking a few practice strokes that mimic the putt he’s about to play, and then striking the ball without hesitation. His touch on mid-range putts has been the deciding factor in his major victories.

Jordan Spieth's Wedges and Short Game

Around the greens and inside 100 yards, Jordan Spieth is a master. He opens or closes the clubface, adjusts his ball position and swing length to hit the ball high, low, or with more or less spin. His videos with Titleist clearly demonstrate this approach: a single wedge can produce three different shots if you know how to control the clubface and bounce.

Jordan Spieth's Well-Executed Shots

On the course, he prefers to choose a specific shot shape rather than hitting a straight shot: a slight fade to find the fairway, or a high draw to attack the flag. He explains how he adjusts his alignment, ball position, and clubface feel to achieve each shot path.
