Gary Player Speaks on Jordan Spieth’s Career

Published

on

With the notable absence of Jordan Spieth at this weekend’s 2025 BMW Championship, fans are left wondering when the golf legend will pull out of the ongoing slump he just can’t seem to beat.

The 2015 FedExCup Champion failed to make top 50 of the 2025 FedExCup Rankings, consequently missing out on the BMW Championship and the Tour Championship. Retired professional Gary Player was not shy this past week when voicing his opinion on exactly what happened to derail Spieth’s career.

Spieth’s Career

With 13 PGA Tour wins, 11 of which occurred between the 2013 John Deere Classic and the 2017 Open Championship, Spieth is an undeniably incredible golfer. His short game is so good, The Golf Journal offers a masterclass from Spieth on it, dubbing him “one of the best to ever hold a wedge.”

Jordan Spieth boasts this impressive career at a young age, but in recent years the golfer has struggled to perform. He faced a wrist injury back in May of 2023, eventually undergoing surgery to correct the problem. He took 3-months off at the end of 2025, and made a return at the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

When speaking at the 2025 Wyndham Championship, Jordan was positive about the future of his career, stating,

“Next year’s going to be a really good year for me, I can feel it,” Spieth said. “It’s all coming along. I’ll be healthy, and just structurally putting, the mechanics are all getting really, really close. One good offseason should get me nailed down to where I could be as good as I’ve been. That’s my goal.”

Unfortunately, the Texan golfer hasn’t won since the 2022 RBC Heritage. Spieth continues to fall in the rankings, and is currently No. 51 in the Official World Golf Ranking.

On a positive note, Jordan continues to see success off the course. Spieth and his wife, Annie recently welcomed another child, Sully Spieth as seen on Jordan’s Instagram page.

Gary Player’s Support, and Criticism

In a recent youtube interview with The Golf Supply, retired professional Gary Player spoke on what he thinks is the problem. Coaching, specifically in America. He stated,

“You know, there’s a tremendous lack of knowledge with golf,” Player said in the video. “I would say in America today, the golf pros that are teaching know less about golf. They’re way less — and they got all the equipment, the technology. But I see them teaching golfers — they’re teaching golfers to do this [bowed wrist] at the top.”

In the video, the 89-year-old golfer shows viewers exactly what he is talking about as he swings a club in the air.  According to Player, once you do that ‘you’re gone.’

Although the South African focused on Spieth throughout the video, he also mentioned other players he believed suffered due to inadequate coaching, including Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler.

Despite his criticism, Player offered plenty of praise to Jordan. In the same interview, he named Jordan ‘a competitor’, ‘a wonderful young man’, and ‘the best player in the world.’ Player simply believes Spieth was taught the wrong thing and it caused him to go downhill. Player also took time to admire Spieth’s course management and short game, a talent he is renowned for.

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.

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. 💥🔥
