Just days before teeing off at The Open Championship, Jordan Spieth has made headlines with a major personal update that could have an impact on his focus going into the tournament.
The three-time major winner revealed that he and his wife, Annie, are expecting their second child later this year. Spieth shared the news quietly but confidently, noting how much family life has changed his perspective both on and off the course.
“It’s a really exciting time for us,” Spieth said. “It puts a lot of things into perspective. Golf is still a big part of my life, but family comes first.”
The announcement comes at a time when Spieth is still trying to find his best form heading into Royal Portrush. Though he’s had flashes of strong play this season, consistency has been elusive. But the 2017 Open Champion isn’t concerned about outside expectations.
“Whatever happens this week, I’m in a good place,” he said. “I want to compete, I want to win — but there’s a lot more to life than one tournament.”
While Spieth remains focused on the task ahead, the news adds a personal layer to his return to The Open, a tournament where he has often thrived. Whether the announcement fuels a strong performance or not, Spieth’s mindset heading into the week appears calm, grounded, and optimistic.
