PGA Tour star Jordan Spieth is looking to reignite his game after a lackluster start to the 2024 season, drawing inspiration from his friend and fellow golfer Scottie Scheffler. Despite being a three-time major championship winner, Spieth has struggled with disqualifications and missed cuts in recent tournaments, prompting him to hit the reset button and take a break to refocus.
Expressing admiration for Scheffler’s recent success, including victories at The Players and Masters, Spieth sees the younger golfer as a source of motivation to elevate his own performance. Their friendship, forged through their shared experiences at the University of Texas and living in Dallas, adds a competitive edge to their relationship, with Spieth admitting that seeing Scheffler excel can be challenging but ultimately drives him to improve.
With upcoming events like The CJ Cup Bryon Nelson, the Wells Fargo Championship, and the PGA Championship on the horizon, Spieth is determined to turn his season around. His ultimate goal remains winning a PGA Championship to complete the career Grand Slam, with his last major victory dating back to the 2017 Open Championship.
Despite setbacks, Spieth remains confident in his abilities and believes he has the potential to reach new heights in his game. With Scheffler as a source of inspiration and friendly competition, Spieth is eager to put in the work and reclaim his place among golf’s elite.
