Jordan Spieth is back on the PGA Tour. His coach hopes ‘this is a different Jordan’

Jordan Spieth’s return to the PGA Tour marks a turning point in his career. After struggling with injuries and an inconsistent 2024 season, the three-time major champion is determined to regain his form. His coach, Cameron McCormick, believes Spieth has evolved into a more patient, strategic golfer.

Spieth’s well-documented impatience once fueled his meteoric rise but also contributed to his struggles. His wrist injury, which plagued him for years, finally required surgery in 2023. Forced to step back, he embraced a new mindset, focusing on controlled progress rather than immediate success.

At the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Spieth’s 2-under opening round was an encouraging start. Despite lingering stiffness, he remained composed, prioritizing smart shot selection. McCormick sees this transformation as a crucial shift, one that could define the next decade of Spieth’s career.

As Spieth works to regain his competitive edge, his patience will be tested. His short-term goal is to contend before the Masters, while his long-term focus remains on making the U.S. Ryder Cup team. Whether his new approach holds up under pressure remains to be seen.
