Jordan Spieth’s incredible year says he’s one of the contenders in Augusta, and he’s come so close over the years.
A few years ago when Jordan Spieth hit his slump, critics were ready to say that perhaps the three-major winner had peaked too early and his best golfing days were behind him. That’s a narrative that’s changing heading into The Masters in 2023.
He won his first major at age 21 in 2015, and followed that up with another that same year. Along the way, he came close to earning a PGA Championship trophy — ultimately settling for second — and that’s the only major that’s eluded him so far. He won his last major in 2017.
What followed were winless years in what could probably be described as a loss in confidence. Several missed cuts and a dip in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) to No. 92 in 2021 had several wondering if Spieth’s best playing days were behind him.
However, the former world No. 1 golfer has seen a return to winning form beginning with a victory at the Valero Texas Open in April 2021, which helped him break back through to the Top 50. A resurgent Jordan Spieth won again in April of last year, this time at the RBC Heritage.
Excitement surrounding the Texan started brewing with a Top 3 at The Masters and a second place at The Open in 2021. He’s also posted five Top 25 finishes this season, with an early impressive — but topsy-turvy — performance at the Valspar last month, where he ended up in third place.
Jordan Spieth has a lot going for him heading into The Masters this week. But when was the last time he won?
When was the last time Jordan Spieth won The Masters?
Spieth’s first career major championship victory in 2015 was at The Masters and that remains his lone win at Augusta National Golf Club. However, he’s racked up one heck of a career at this tournament, notching four additional Top 3 finishes at Augusta National.
The Masters is Spieth’s best major tournament. When he debuted on the PGA Tour, he tied for second place and watched now-LIV Golf-affiliated Bubba Watson walk away with his second green jacket in 2014. Jordan Spieth was only aged 20 at the time.
