What Happened To Jordan Spieth? | A Short Golf Documentary

I agree with others that his pursuit of more distance but I can pinpoint the event. His downfall started after his playoff loss to Dustin Johnson at the 2017 Northern Trust. Dustin hit a huge drive over the lake leaving himself a short wedge to the green while Jordon was left with a mid to long iron. Shortly after that loss, it appeared to me that Jordon started to make swing changes to pursue more distance. Hope he gets back to his natural swing and starts winning again.

[@CarlVandenberg]

See that's the thing about golf. A lot of talented golfers don't even make it to the tour until their late 20's. Jordan is 27 and has already risen to the top, struggled through a 3+ year slump, had people make "what happened to" documentaries about them, and then risen back to the top. In just this year he has gone from 80th in the world back up to 23rd, won a tournament and banked nearly 5 million dollars in tournament earnings (not counting endorsements) in the 20-21 season.

thanks for the video! i just went back and watched 2015 masters and 2016 masters. so incredible to watch! his swing was so natural and relaxed in 2015; you could see wobbles early in the final round of 2016 before disaster on 12. i don't think he's ever fully recovered from that. i agree w/ many of the comments that his putting used to bail out his poor ball striking; no way he could keep making 20+ footers forever. i think he needs a new coach and maybe a switch @ caddie; he seems overly dependent on his caddie, whom i like but jordan needs to stand on his own and figure this out.

[@jeaniewolfe6693]

To succeed in a game like golf you need to be selfish with your time. If you don't put the hours in, you can never expect to beat another player who is. Once pro golfers these days get a few wins under their belt, they start to lose the hunger for 4am gym sessions... 5hrs a day range sessions, 2 hrs short game etc etc. Naturally, once marriage and kids comes along, priorities change if you have plenty of dosh in the bank, it's all too easy to hit that snooze button...

Nice video though.

[@thenextgreat8652]

Only one who knows is Jordan. We all saw Tiger struggle at times throughout his career with swing changes so it could just be that. I can only imagine at that level the trust needed in yourself in what you’re doing so when you change something you’ve done all your life, it’s natural for it to take a while to ingrain it into the old golf noggin. From what i see, he’s working so hard on fixing one thing that the rest of his game, particularly his chipping and putting, have also suffered as a result. I hope he figures it out as it was a joy watching another potential great career blossom. Reality is, golf is freaking hard even for the best of them and staying at the highest level for long periods of time is extremely difficult.

Exactly dude...but think about it...when you have a run like that and your expectstion is to keep it going, that basically means your bar of success is to be "the best golfer ever" on par with woods and nicklaus...im sorry if that is the bar thats set, unless you are one of maybe 10 people in the world that check all the boxes to do that in ANY sport, ur going to be disappointed...guys like that, well, they don't really exist most of the time...thats why guys like Michael jordan, tiger woods, Jack nicklaus, michael Phelps, Lance Armstrong, cael Sanderson, Dan gable, etc...guys that when you watch them, it actually defies what you thought was even possible in a given sport...in fact its so so rare that many sports haven't yet even seen someone like that...he came out thought and then regressed to his average, which is #80ish in the world...but now the bar is set so high that this young talented kid had to endure constant media reports of how washed up he is...please...hes not washed, hes very very good...hes just not the greatest golfer ever, even tho he played like it for a couple years...hes a very elite golfer, capable of winning majors, but won't win them all the time and will have huge gaps between them...and will have long periods of highs and lows... but there are only 79 people in the world better than him, id say hes definitely elite, but he's just not the best in the world...big deal, stop saying hes washed, when ur "low" is dropping to #80 on earth, id say ur still doing fine I really think that his early success and all the expectations have fucked with head, the talent doesn't disappear...again tho, thats why the goats are so special, they never had a problem with pressure or expectation or disappointment in the eyes of the public...they love it, it gives them a chance to show them up, and they just relish in it like they "know" they're the best, and whatever they do, even they themselves isn't good enough so they just keep going...im seriously convinced at any given time on earth there are less than 10 people that even exist like that

[@pilgrimgolfer9705]

I have this theory that the universe gives out gifts of super magical abilities in all areas of life. Sport, art, music etc. In order to get those gifts one has to have certain criteria. First they have to be born with the right DNA. Second, the right parents and environmental conditions. Third, the will to win, and finally, the right intentions. If one of these is not there then one can still achieve much, but greatness will elude them. Golf is the best example of how these magical gifts work because golf is so difficult that; when the player has this gift, it shines out so brightly and so clearly. The modern game has evolved to the point in which we know so much about the mechanics of the swing that anyone with talent can learn to play well if they work hard at it. There is also so much money in the sport that even the lower end players can earn a decent living. But for those who are the cream at the top, the only thing dividing them is two things; the will and the intention. If either of those things are wrong then the universe will take the magic away and hand it to another. If one believes that the universe is a moral universe then one's intentions has to fit morally. For example, if in your heart you want to win for the family, or because you simply love the game, or because you appreciate the fans, and so on, then the universe sees that you are not only wining for your own ego and glory. And so, the moment your ego creeps into your intention; in other words, you start to believe the hype that you are a God, then the universe will take away the gift. If your drive to win is only money, then that too is not strong enough a motivation, for as soon as you become a multi millionaire; then what? I am not saying this is what has happened to Spieth or others as I do not know, all I am saying is, I believe there is a reason that players lose the magic. It happened to all the greats. It's as though it just vanishes. Perhaps there is also limited time each can hold the gift. As I said, it's just a theory. Either way, golf is a unique example of this dynamic of "greatness."

Don't go chasing the perfect swing guys! We have seen it ruin so many. Imagine if Tiger didn't constantly tinker with his swing? He may have 25 majors right now. Spieth tried to get a little longer, a little more technical and it has cost him big. I'm sure he will find his way back but he has to ingrain completely new feels and that is never something you want to do in your prime. There is something to be said about playing with feel and athleticism, instead of trying to be perfect technically.

[@ljsneets7037]

Would’ve rather learned a little about “why” he’s struggling, rather than having his results read to me off the PGA website. Jordan himself, has publicly stated that he was distracted off the course getting married, he made some bad changes with his swing which led to working with Butch Harman, and then his putter started struggling. In a press conference, he told the world he thinks he rode a 5 year hot streak with the putter, and finally he reverted to the mean. Now he’s lost his confidence on the greens as well, which is never a good place for a touring pro.

[@mitchellblades]

[@mikecullen6488]

Couple of thoughts. He made a ton of long putts and hole outs enroute to wins. That doesn’t last forever. Secondly, he was always a little wild off the tee and in his effort to change his swing to increase distance, it seemed to hurt him at key times. Third, while success breeds more success, so does failure. And finally, getting married. It’s got to be difficult to balance that. He always seemed like a guy who played a lot and got into a groove. Appears to have pared back that schedule and maybe that has affected his game.

[@5roductionz1466]

[@jerrybraswell3958]

As an amateur observer, who truly hates to see such a natural golfer collapse in such a manner as Spieth has done, my observations are of no great merit to a super successful pro golfer, but reaching for unnecessary distance and bringing the head up too quick have ruined many a golf swing. Ten more yards of distance gained with 30 yards of misdirection included is not beneficial. As I was once told, "If you look up, you see a bad shot", is always destructive to golfers, amateurs or pros (Annika Sorenstam excluded as she looked up on every shot). Spieth is now foregoing his natural swing in favor of mechanics which puts constant swing thoughts in the way of that free swinging, natural golfer we once knew (shades of Lydia Ko on the women's tour, although she is getting better after years of struggling with mechanical adjustments. Finally, he has made millions, proved his position as a great golfer and it would be refreshing to see him just having fun again by just playing golf freely as in his younger years.

What happened to him is the same thing that happens to many great players...he stopped playing golf and started thinking about his swing. It's not about making a swing but creating and making shots to get the ball in the hole.

[@rickfetters4652]

Jordan was/is intimidated by driving distances off the tee by his competition. In the effort to reduce the gap, he is sacrificing fairways hit, which in turn puts his iron game under pressure, and in turn leaves him longer putts for birdies. By missing fairways off the tee, he adds pressure to the remaining shots. And that pressure mounts up hole after hole, day after day, and its now created a situation he no longer enjoys playing as he did in the beginning. The solution is to concentrate on hitting fairways, deemphasize driver distance, allow his irons to create birdie chances, and let his putter work for him. He will score better, have more fun and enjoy golf again. He needs to play to his strength, irons and putter, and accept his distance limitations and focus on fairway accuracy.

[@grimson]

I wonder if the truth is in the numbers? You could've compared his stats from 2020 to his better years to see where he's going wrong, i.e. driving accuracy, distance, putting strokes gained/lost etc. It's a good summary video, but apart from saying 'He struggled with his putting' there's no insight as to *why* it's gone wrong.

[@mitchellblades]

Thanks for the tip I’ll bare that in mind, maybe you missed the bit where I said what went wrong, it was all to do with his set up, and getting too high on his right side which made him rely on timing too much, his putting only suffered because he put too much pressure on it because of his driving, and GIR, hope this helps

[@mitchellblades]

Thanks for watching

A few things happened to destroy his winning ways. 1. His meltdown at the Masters. 2. The lap dog media putting him on a pedestal, trying to live up to the hype. 3. Golf karma - when he was on top his arrogance started to show. He publicly started to blame his caddy for his screwups. Developed a huge ego. 4. Too much money too young. 5. Caved in to the pressure. Getting to the top and staying at the top is difficult. 6. Changed swing seeking distance. 7. Mentally weak, signs of that started to show through early on at the start of his downfall. Lost confidence and focus. 8. The younger players length off the tee and all round games making it harder for him to win. 9. Self doubt, even when winning he seemed extremely fragile on the golf course. 10. His his boyhood rival and friend, Justin Thomas, starting to win tournaments about the same time Spieth started to slide. Spieth was used to getting all the lap dog media’s praise and now Thomas was getting the attention.

I think it can be summarized in 1 word: MARRIAGE

Do you think Ian Baker Finch is worth a look at for one of your 'What happened to' documentaries?

[@mitchellblades]

Yeah I’ve seen a lot of people say him, I’ll do some research thanks 👌🏻

[@CorekBleedingHollow]

Just dipped under the radar. He should get a new coach and a new caddie.

[@sportsmediaamerica]

I know others who DEFINITELY think he needs a caddie change. The Zen schoolteacher guy can't read distances. So that's a problem.

[@jasonsechrist1]

He let his ego get in the way, he chased the long ball, when he did not need to.

[@sportsmediaamerica]

He should be Tom Watson. He doesn't have to be one of those mad bombers.

[@philmoore71]

i 'wanted to know what happened '... this was only mentioned v briefly at the end :(

[@joshlynch5676]

I wanted him to be the next best player of our era and he still has the chance to do that in the next 10-15 years but it's going to take a LOT of work to get there. Seems he's on the track to success following his most recent win. Only time will tell.

[@craigwynn3956]

he stopped holing putts pure and simple his whole game relied totally on it

[@brandonjung6858]

0:12 is that JT?

[@D.WhiteJr]

I think so in two of those pictures he was in them

[@ajpgolf]

Yes JT and Jordan were childhood friends I think

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

Because of that Masters blow up and because he doesn't have that same caddy. I called it just watching how close they were and how much they talked and joked. It was the magical combination and it won't come back.

[@fantom1913]

His collapse at the Masters still carries through to this day. He never regained confidence after that. OH! And yeah. Getting married. That will screw just about anyone up for life.

[@jalan8171]

Yes Mr. Spieth has of tanked in the rankings. He still holds a Tour Card. Still receives checks from sponsors. Still has some recognition from winning Championships. Beats all I've achieved from playing golf. How about you ?

[@rustygreen6771]

Jordan reminds me of Johnny Miller in the early 70s .He won a lot of tournaments like he was in a zone.
