TEAM SPIETH

Caddie: Michael Greller has been on the bag since Spieth turned pro in 2013, one of the most stable player-caddie partnerships in modern golf. They first worked together at the 2011 U.S. Junior Amateur, when Greller was a Seattle-area math teacher caddying on the side.

Spieth won that event with Greller on the bag, and the two have stuck together through all 3 of his majors and his FedEx Cup title. The pair is known for their candid, sometimes tense on-course dialogue; they aren’t afraid to disagree mid-round.

CAREER NUMBERS

MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS

Masters Tournament: Won 2015 (wire-to-wire, tied Tiger Woods’ 72-hole scoring record)
U.S. Open: Won 2015 (Chambers Bay), completing back-to-back majors in the same season
The Open Championship: Won 2017 (Royal Birkdale), a dramatic final round including a memorable recovery shot from the driving range on the 13th hole
PGA Championship: Best finish 2nd (2015)

Career Grand Slam status: Has 3 of 4 majors. The PGA Championship is the only one missing a well-known storyline in golf, since only 5 men in history have ever completed the career Grand Slam.

RECENT FORM

A genuinely difficult stretch by his own standards: no wins in 2026, and his season includes several missed cuts and finishes outside the top 50 (the Open Championship, Travelers Championship, John Deere Classic, Memorial Tournament, Wyndham Championship, Truist Championship, and Valero Texas Open).

There have been bright spots: a T12 at the Masters, a T18 at the PGA Championship, and a T11 at the Genesis Invitational and Arnold Palmer Invitational, but he’s spent real time on the “FedEx Cup bubble” this season, a notable and somewhat humbling storyline for a former World #1 and 3-time major champion now ranked outside the top 50 in the world.

BACKGROUND

Born and raised in Dallas, Spieth began playing golf at age 4 and developed his game at Brookhaven Country Club. He won the U.S. Junior Amateur (2011) before a standout college career at Texas, then turned pro in December 2012.

His rise was historically fast; by 2015, at just 21 years old, he’d already won the Masters and U.S. Open in the same season and briefly held the world #1 ranking, drawing comparisons as a potential heir to Tiger Woods.

His last major win came in 2017; since then, his career has been defined by a search to recapture that early peak, punctuated by moments like his 2021 return to the winner’s circle at the Valero Texas Open after a lengthy drought and his continued pursuit of the PGA Championship to complete the career Grand Slam.
