Jordan Spieth is an American professional golfer who took the world by storm when he became the second youngest golfer to win the Masters tournament.
The Dallas, Texas native became the first man to win two majors before his 22nd birthday in 82 years. At age 23, he was included in Time Magazine’s list of the 100 Most Influential People.
biography
Jordan Spieth was born on July 27, 1993 to Mary Christine and Shawn Spieth in Dallas, Texas. He was the first child of three children.
Spieth grew up playing a variety of sports, most notably football and baseball, before later turning his full attention to golf. Around the age of nine, his parents joined Brookhaven Country Club to provide their boy, who was beginning to take an interest in the sport, with access to proper facilities.
While attending St. Monica Catholic School and later Jesuit College Preparatory School, which he graduated from in 2011, had already begun to attract the attention of golf enthusiasts. He was a two-time US Junior Amateur Championship winner before going to college.
Before his 20th birthday, Spieth won his first PGA title at the John Deere Classic. He finished second twice at the Wyndham Championship and the Tour Championship to earn a spot on the Presidents Cup team and was named PGA Tour Rookie of the Year.
A few brilliant performances in big tournaments followed for Spieth before he clinched his second PGA Tour win at the 2015 Valspar Championship. After that win, he won the Masters tournament to compare to other golfing greats and the rest is history.
Jordan Spieth’s Net Worth (Income and Earnings), House
Jordan Spieth made his name at the young age of 15 by winning the US Junior Amateur tournament. He’s made a fortune since turning pro at the age of 19. He is currently the fifth highest paid golfer in the world.
He is reported to be making around $50 million annually from both golf tournaments and endorsement deals with companies such as Under Armour, Coca-Cola, AT&T and Rolex. By the end of 2017, Speith’s net worth is expected to be around $60 million.
That number is sure to increase in the years to come as Spieth continues to win and the inventory of Under Armor he owns continues to grow.
It is not surprising that Jordan Spieth, with his enormous sum of money, was able to find high-quality real estate.
In 2016, the young golfer bought a 5 bedroom, 16,655 square foot mansion in Dallas, Texas for $7.1 million. The home features a basketball court, 12-car underground parking, golf simulator room, courtyard with spa and fire pit, fully equipped outdoor kitchen and wine cellar, among many other amenities.
It’s definitely an upgrade from his former 7,400-square-foot home in Preston Hollow, which he bought for $2.3 million.
Does he have a wife or girlfriend?
Jordan Spieth is not yet married. However, he is engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Annie Verret, who works as an events coordinator.
The lovebirds met in high school and have been together ever since. She was frequently seen on his side during all of his championship wins, so it came as no great surprise to the public and their families when they announced their engagement in December 2017.
family, sister
Jordan Spieth’s parents, Shawn and Chris, were both college athletes. His father, Shawn, played college baseball while his mother, Chris, played college basketball. They’ve done other things since then, with Shawn opening a media analytics startup and Chris becoming a computer engineer.
He has two younger siblings; Steven and Elly.
Jordan Spieth’s sister Ellie, born in 2000, has a neurological disorder that left her growing up with disabilities. She was a source of inspiration to her big brother, who says his sister’s problems kept him grounded and gave him perspective.
In his honor, he established the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation, which provides attention and financial support to children with special needs, as well as military families and youth golf.
