What happened to Jordan Spieth? New theory behind devastating decline

Published

on

Nine-time Major champion, Gary Player, believes Jordan Spieth has all the qualities needed to be a dominant force in the game once more.

But the South African Hall of Famer has suggested the American has had some dodgy coaching that has caused his downfall.

The three-time Major champion spent many weeks at world number one but has struggled of late, not adding to his 13 PGA Tour titles since 2022.

Player, who claimed 24 PGA Tour wins, claims his loss of form is not due to skill or desire, but instead poor coaching that has hampered his swing.

Spieth, who is now 32, had a period of utter dominance after his rise in 2015, where he claimed multiple Major wins and held the top ranking.

His dominance was similar to that of Scottie Scheffler today, but any signs of significant consistency have now long eluded him.

His last Major win came in 2017, and his 2025 Major record of T14, CUT, T23, T40 is somewhat different to his Win, Win, T4, 2 record a decade ago.

Gary Player: ‘Jordan Spieth is the best golfer in the world’

The 89-year-old, who is renowned for often being outspoken with his criticism, was speaking on The Golf Supply YouTube channel.

During his cameo, Player did not hold back when ripping into the state of modern golf instruction.

He claimed Jordan Spieth and out-of-form Rickie Fowler have struggled due to the current state of the game.

Player announced: “Jordan Spieth, in my opinion, is the best golfer in the world.

“But he was taught the wrong thing and went downhill. If someone like Ben Hogan had worked with him, he’d still be number one.

“He’s a great competitor and a wonderful person, but he just can’t hit the ball the way he should. That’s a tragedy.”

He added: “There’s a tremendous lack of knowledge in the game today.

“Coaches have all the technology, but they’re teaching moves that destroy a swing – like a bowed wrist at the top. Once you do that, you’re gone.”

Despite threats of form, Spieth has again struggled in 2025 with no event wins and sitting outside the world’s top 50.

However, when speaking after the recent Wyndham Championship, he was upbeat that his fortunes may turn around in 2026.

Spieth claimed: “Next year’s going to be a really good year for me, I can feel it.

“One good offseason should get me back to my best. That’s my goal.”

How good was prime Jordan Spieth in his top-ranked stretch?

After emerging onto the scene, Spieth found an incredible level of dominance that was among the most ruthless since Tiger Woods.

At just 21, he had multiple Major wins and a Green Jacket; he nearly pulled off an unprecedented sweep of winning all four in 2015.

He was hitting the ball long with precision, demonstrating elite iron play and lighting up the greens with several event-defining putts.

Spieth’s creativity around the greens and all-around ability made him, at one point, simply unbeatable.

Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.

We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.

Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.

Published

Tennis fans across the globe are rallying behind Holger Rune, after the Danish star shared an emotional but determined message following his devastating Achilles injury that abruptly ended his 2025 season.

The 22-year-old, known for his fierce competitiveness and electric energy on court, was forced to retire during the Stockholm Open semifinals after collapsing in pain mid-match against Ugo Humbert. Moments later, Rune confirmed what fans feared — a torn Achilles tendon, one of the toughest injuries any athlete can face.

But instead of silence or despair, Rune chose to face the challenge head-on. In a heartfelt message posted to social media, he wrote:

“It’s gonna be a while before I can step on court again… It’s tough. I had so much joy out there, and it’s unbearable to think I won’t feel that energy for some time. But I’ll be back — stronger, wiser, and more grateful than ever.”

His words, filled with pain yet overflowing with resilience, immediately resonated with millions. Fellow players, coaches, and fans flooded his post with encouragement, calling him a “fighter”, a “true champion in spirit”, and the embodiment of perseverance.

Rune has already undergone successful surgery and, in a move that stunned many, shared photos of himself training from a seated position — refusing to let recovery stop his momentum. The images showed a young man focused not on what he’s lost, but on what he can rebuild.

Even as he faces months of rehabilitation, Rune’s story has become a symbol of mental toughness and grace under pressure. His family and team remain by his side, reminding the tennis world that this setback doesn’t define his career — it refines it.

As one fan beautifully wrote:

“He may be off the court, but his spirit is still winning matches.”

For Holger Rune, this isn’t the end of a season — it’s the start of a comeback story that could inspire a generation. 💥🔥
