Jordan Spieth Receives Brutally Honest Message From PGA Tour Legend After Disappointing 2025 Campaign
Jordan Spieth Receives Brutally Honest Message From PGA Tour Legend After Disappointing 2025 Campaign originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Jordan Spieth has faced a tough stretch, and his struggles extend beyond just the 2025 season. His challenges on the PGA Tour have persisted for years now, with his last win coming back in 2022 at the RBC Heritage.
Few could have predicted the slide from Spieth after he burst onto the scene as an amateur in 2013, capturing his first PGA Tour victory at the John Deere Classic. Since then, he has accumulated 13 wins, including three major titles at the Masters, U.S. Open, and The Open Championship. He still needs the PGA Championship to complete the career Grand Slam, a feat achieved by only six other golfers.
However, that goal currently seems far-fetched. After missing the cut in the final two tournaments of the year due to the FedExCup standings, Spieth finished the season ranked 51st in the world, falling out of the top 50 for the first time since 2021.
Gary Player Comments on Jordan Spieth’s Struggles
Following this downturn, he received a brutally honest assessment from golf legend Gary Player during an appearance on “The Golf Supply” YouTube channel.
“Jordan Spieth I think is the best golfer in the world but in my opinion he was taught the wrong thing,” Player said. “And he just went downhill. He went downhill…. If you had a man like Ben Hogan teaching Jordan Spieth he would be the best in the world. He’s such a competitor, such a wonderful man. A wonderful guy for golf, the best short game, best course management but he just can’t hit the ball. That is a tragedy.”
Calling Spieth the best player in the world might be a stretch given Scottie Scheffler’s dominance over the past couple of years, but at one point, Spieth was certainly in that conversation—and he still has the ability to return to that level.
The 32-year-old recently made a bold prediction about his 2026 season, vowing to bounce back.
“Next year’s going to be a really good year for me, I can feel it. It’s all coming along. I’ll be healthy, and just structurally putting, the mechanics are all getting really, really close,” Spieth said. “One good offseason should get me nailed down to where I could be as good as I’ve been. That’s my goal.”
This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 14, 2025, where it first appeared.
The first round of the FedExCup playoff finale begins Thursday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia.
Players are paired based on FEC standings entering the third of three postseason tournaments, but everyone starts at even par and with no points. The winner of the 72-hole, stroke-play event will be declared the FedExCup champion.
As they did at last week’s BMW Championship, top seeds Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy will play alongside one another on the opening day. Players will then be repaired for Day 2, based on Round 1 scores.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
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.
