Deeper look at Jordan Spieth: His game, injury, career prospects | Golf Channel Podcast

[@wbwright79]

so much goes into this. injury, family & advisory board responsibilities, and the fact he can't reliably sink a putt inside 6 feet. it's a throw away year. but he's always going to be a great watch.

[@oahujuniorgolfassociationc6656]

For sure. Very few golfers are so fun to watch.

[@ewheel1629]

I agree with you. I also think that Jordan should just shut it down this year get the necessary surgery heal up. Come back next season and be the Jordan Spieth. We know he can be.

[@michaelriffice7551]

Keep posting the swings...you guys are a pleasure to watch or listen to. and Rex...go Cannon Cockers!

[@oahujuniorgolfassociationc6656]

Jordan is an interesting case because time has shown he isn’t a consistent golfer but he started his career so consistently great. I do think he will still have many more highs, but right now he is struggling for various reasons. All that being said he is a great watch for various reasons.

[@jimiverson3085]

Time to get some sponsors - if you're using merch and talking about it working, there should be some revenue in that. BTW, Lav's miss sound like mine - driver can work OK for a while then an outbreak of smothered hooks alternating with absolutely crushed massive power slices.

[@josephboza7448]

Jordan has been a father since his last win at RBC Heritage 2022. I think the wrist injury is an easy excuse to explain why he is 58th in the fed ex and 32nd in the world. I think its an overreaction to Wills WD. Will wasnt having his week in Detorit. He started round 3 -7. He was +3 thru 8 when he ran away. He is 38th in the fed ex cup standings. Unless he collaspes the last few months he should be in the top 50 easy. The president cup will change on both sides for sure before we get to Canada in September. Jim Furyks 6 captians picks will be interesting.

[@oahujuniorgolfassociationc6656]

You know it will be all the boys.

[@edwardcreighton2638]

During the silly season we need a Lav versus Rex head to head battle on KZbin. 18 holes. Grant Horvat and Rick Shiels viewing figures will collapse! What swings you have! Great pod as usual.

[@terryhamm4837]

The first time I saw Will Zalatoris hit a golf ball, I said that he either had to make significant changes to his swing, or he was going to have major back problems with multiple surgeries.

[@jimiverson3085]

On the President's Cup team, let some of the warhorses stay home if they aren't in the top 12. Bhatia would add a lot of life to the event. Thomas and Burns weren't good on the Ryder Cup team. If they don't qualify, pass them up - lesson being they need to get their acts together.

[@mgh3380]

Yep, u can't jam your club into the ground when u have this wrist issue.

[@jimiverson3085]

And the wrist seems more likely to be aggravated when a club hits the ground (irons) vs. not meeting the ground (driver).

[@markedwards5512]

Shout out to Mrs. Rex...living with four men must drive her nuts. Bless her soul. She deserves a standing monthly spa day...Rex must make it happen.

[@tomyandrade]

These two have a weird chemistry , Rex is always correcting lav….

[@oahujuniorgolfassociationc6656]

As he should.

[@SiLoMixMaster]

Jordan Spieth is finished, as is JT. Not sure why they still get talked about so much when they are waaaay past their golf primes.

[@michaelwilliams6082]

So many excuses by Jordan This is the new Speith

[@tomdallas3690]

I mean, he had a miracle run, a brief miracle run. He never had the characteristics of being an all-time great. He simply cannot control his golf ball. Golf can only be about one thing. Ball flight and ball control. What else can it be about? He has no real competitive advantage. That said, he is a real golfer, and does some crazy things like holing out from ridiculous places, often times in big spots, but at the end of the day, he simply is not a great golfer. That is all there is to it.

[@AlastairBarker]

GUYS HE ISNT WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD BE YET YOU STILL TALK LIKE HE IS, HE IS DONE WINNING MAJORS, STOP ASS KISSING AND FACE FACTS, THE GOLDEN CHILD ISNT WINNING, HE IS ONE OF IF NOT THE SLOWEST PLAYERS YET NEVER GETS CALLED ON IT... PILCHARDS THIS PAIR.

[@Nadia_Milkova]

Does anyone know the origins of the hate-fueled vitriol between these two? 🧐

[@jimiverson3085]

If there isn't a little friction, there won't be ratings. In truth, they work together ongoing and have done that for years. These guys are friends IRL.

[@michaelwilliams6082]

Quit making excuses for Jordan.

[@counselor5286]

time to change coaches. Loyalty only goes so far. As noted he hasn't been playing good for last 2 or 3 years so I argue its not wrist.

[@oahujuniorgolfassociationc6656]

Longer than that.

[@joeblowmha]

Just.a.guy

[@Handletaken4]

Just another golfer who reaches the top, changes swing coaches, kills his career. --Padraig

[@TimWatson-yt5ou]

Spieth, like thomas suffer from over paid complacency.

[@cleveland2022]

Spieth is a non factor. The PGA Tour has a major personality problem. The golfers are boring and are not inspiring. With the exception of a few Tournaments they play boring, easy courses. The US Open was exciting because the course was great and tough. Most of these courses on Tour arent very difficult, with minimal trouble

[@Nadia_Milkova]

Yeah, Sawgrass, Bay Hill, Murfield, Harbor Town, ... all super easy courses... Are you on mushrooms?

[@oahujuniorgolfassociationc6656]

@@Nadia_Milkovaagreed but those are all in the rear view mirror this season.

[@tomdallas3690]

Zero people care about the Presidents Cup. Zero Point Zero. The Ryder Cup would not be missed, either. Nobody really cares about team golf. LIV is too stupid to figure that out. The only reason people even think about the Presidents Cup or Ryder Cup is because the networks tell them they should care. Nobody really cares.

[@SiLoMixMaster]

Ryder Cup does massive numbers and LIV golf have grown a lot in viewership and ticket sales this year compared to last year, whereas the PGAT numbers have fallen a lot this year compared to last year. So it seems you are the stupid one, not LIV golf. Saying the Ryder Cup 'would not be missed' is a hilariously stupid statement in itself.

[@cleveland2022]

Agree about the Presidents Cup. The Ryder Cup is exciting, but I think Europe is going to boat race the American Team for the forseeable future. Europe has the far superior players. LIV has the better best players. I dont mind the format, and the shotgun starts, but the music playing is kinda wacky, but they play tougher courses across the board than the PGA Tour

[@oahujuniorgolfassociationc6656]

@@cleveland2022im just old enough to think music in all sports during play is whacky. But it’s really not whacky. It’s business.
