Inside the life of Jordan Spieth: net worth, wife, cars, golf equipment and more

Jordan Spieth remains one of the most talented players in the game and, still only 31, you would like to think that there are a number of big wins and more Ryder Cup appearances all to come.

Here, we take a closer look at the three-time Major winner. 

Born? Spieth was born on 27/7/93 in Dallas and he has a sister, Ellie, and brother, Steven. He grew up playing golf at Brookhaven Country Club where fellow PGA Tour pros Scott Verplank, Brian Watts and Andrew Magee also began.

Turn pro? Spieth enjoyed a glittering amateur career which included two US Junior Amateurs and the 2011 Walker Cup at Royal Aberdeen. At the University of Texas he helped his team win the NCAA championship and was the Player of the Year. Before turning pro he played in the Byron Nelson in 2010, where he finished 16th. He added 32nd the following year.

He would also play in the 2012 US Open where he was the low amateur and he signed off his non-paid career by becoming the World No. 1 amateur and making five of eight cuts in PGA Tour events. He then turned pro in December 2012, midway through his sophomore year. The following month he signed up with Under Armour.

First pro win? In his rookie season Spieth, still only 19, captured the John Deere Classic on the fifth hole of a sudden-death play-off against defending champion Zach Johnson and Canadian David Hearn. He holed out from a greenside bunker at the 72nd hole to make it into extra time. It made him the first teenage winner since Ralph Guldahl in 1931 and the fourth youngest PGA Tour champion and he would head straight to Muirfield for The Open the following week. He finished the season in seventh place on the money list.

Married? Spieth and his high-school sweetheart, Annie Verret, got engaged in 2017 and were married in Dallas in November the following year. They now have a son, Sammy, and daughter, Sophie, and are expecting their third child later this year.

Car? Spieth’s mansion incredibly has enough room for 12 cars and, at the last count, he has half filled the vast space. There is a BMW i3 Electric, Ford F150, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes Benz CLS and a Toyota 4Runner. Spieth bought the house in Dallas off Hunter Mahan and it also includes a basketball half-court, golf simulator, gym and infinity pool.

Favourite sporting teams? Spieth was a talented baseball player as a youngster and he’s a big Texas Rangers fan. On throwing out the first pitch at a Red Sox v Yankees match he also revealed that he had a soft spot for the Red Sox. “After my Rangers, I root for the Red Sox. I truly mean that. Not just because I’m here. And I always root against the Yankees.”

He is also an investor, alongside good friend Justin Thomas, in the 49ers’ ownership of Leeds United.

Earnings? Spieth’s on-course earnings since 2013 are now well over $60m which doesn’t include the $10m for topping the 2015 FedEx standings. Off the course he has been with Under Armour since turning pro, otherwise he has various deals with the likes of AT&T, Rolex and NetJets. His net worth is estimated to be around $120m.

Equipment? He has always played Titleist clubs and he’s been a regular poster boy for the manufacturer along with Justin Thomas. He plays a ProV1x ball, the TSR2 driver and T100 irons. And, of course, Vokey wedges.

“I’ve trusted Titleist golf balls and clubs since I was a junior. They are the best in the business and I always know my equipment will perform exactly how I want tee through green,” he says.

Biggest achievement? His 2015 season might still be one of the most underrated of all time. He won the Masters with a winning score of 18-under, he then won the US Open two months later. At St Andrews, with all the limelight on him, he came within one shot of making the play-off after dropping a shot at the Road Hole. Then at the PGA at Whistling Straits he was second to Jason Day – W-W-4-2. He now has three Majors after his ridiculous finish at the 2017 Open at Birkdale.
