The famous Jordan Alexander Spieth is an American professional golfer on the PGA Tour and former world number one in the Official World Golf Ranking. He is a three-time major winner and the 2015 FedEx Cup champion. Spieth’s first major win came in the 2015 Masters Tournament when he shot a 270 and pocketed $1.8 million.
n the 2013 season, Spieth played in his first tournament in January, where he missed the cut by two strokes at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. In March, Spieth made three cuts, finishing tied for second at the Puerto Rico Open and tied for seventh at the Tampa Bay Championship. He earned Special Temporary Member status in March, which allowed him unlimited sponsor exemptions; non-members are limited to seven exemptions per season. He notched another top-10 finish in April at the RBC Heritage, a tie for ninth.
On July 14 (about two weeks before his 20th birthday) Spieth won the John Deere Classic on the fifth hole of a three-way, sudden-death playoff against defending champion Zach Johnson and David Hearn. He became the fourth youngest PGA Tour winner and the first teenager to do so since Ralph Guldahl won the Santa Monica Open in 1931. Spieth holed out from a greenside bunker on the 72nd hole to make the playoff.
Who is Jordan Spieth’s sister Ellie Spieth?
If there is a source of Jordan Spieth’s humility and maturity, it’s his little sister. Ellie was born prematurely with a still undiagnosed neurological disorder that left her developmentally challenged. That last category is of particular interest to Spieth, as his 14-year-old sister, Ellie, was born with a neurological condition that place her on the autistic spectrum. Ellie certainly is the best thing that’s happened in our family, Spieth told the media in July.
