“Back then it was like a crapshoot” – Jordan Spieth compares present struggle to dropping near world ranking No.100 in recent years

Jordan Spieth recently reflected on his struggles, comparing his current challenges to his near fall to world ranking No. 100 in 2021. He acknowledged that back then, his performance felt unpredictable, but now he has a clearer understanding of his game and improvements.

In 2021, Spieth dropped to 92nd in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) before rebounding with strong finishes, eventually reaching the top 15. After another tough stretch in 2024, he entered 2025 ranked 77th. However, a solid performance at the Cognizant Classic helped him rise to 64th, showing signs of progress.

Despite a wrist injury that affected his play last season, Spieth remains optimistic. He mentioned that while his recovery is slow, he no longer thinks about it during rounds. With two top-10 finishes in four tournaments this season, Spieth appears to be regaining form and confidence.
