Jordan Spieth is a professional golfer from the United States who has a net worth of $110 million.
Jordan also earns tens of millions of dollars per year from endorsements, on top of his tournament earnings.
Spieth is only the second player in history to have won the US Junior Amateur competition in both 2009 and 2011, and he is the first to accomplish so in 2009.
After being named PGA Rookie of the Year in 2013, Spieth joined with Under Armour and BioSteel Sports Supplements to raise money for the organisation.
The Valspar Championship was his first PGA Tour victory in 2015, making him the third-youngest player in the history of the tour, behind Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia.
Jordan grew up with two younger siblings, Steven and Ellie, and spent his childhood participating in sports such as golf, basketball, baseball, football, and soccer.
He began by practising on his family’s yard, but he eventually persuaded his parents to become members of the Brookhaven Country Club so that he could improve his game on a professional golf course.
During the 2008 and 2009 Junior PGA Championships, Jordan finished second, and the American Junior Golf Association honoured him the Rolex Junior Player of the Year for his efforts in 2009.
During his time as a student at the University of Texas, Jordan competed in the Walker Cup, and his efforts on the school’s golf team won him the honours of Player of the Year and Big 12 Freshman of the Year, as well as selection to the All-Big 12 Team.
With his victory at the John Deere Classic in July 2013, Jordan became the first teenager to win a PGA Tour tournament since Ralph Guldahl won the Santa Monica Open in 1931.
He finished in a tie for fourth place at the Deutsche Bank Championship and was selected to represent the United States in the 2013 Presidents Cup in South Africa.
Following the Masters, Spieth’s position in the Official World Golf Ranking rose to #9, and he went on to become the youngest American to compete in the Ryder Cup since 1929 later that year.
In 2015, Spieth won the Valspar Championship and was ranked as the world’s sixth best golfer by the Official World Golf Ranking.
In April 2015, he won the Masters, becoming the second-youngest golfer in history to do so and the second-ranked player in the world.
Jordan won the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, Dean & DeLuca Invitational, and Emirates Australian Open in 2016, and finished runner-up in the Masters the following year.
Founded in 2014, the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation generates awareness and finances for organisations that support paediatric cancer, special needs children, military families, and junior golf.
The year 2015 was a particularly successful one for him, garnering him the titles of PGA Player of the Year, PGA Tour Player of the Year, PGA Tour top money winner, and FedEx Cup Champion, as well as the Vardon Trophy and Byron Nelson Award.
Jordan purchased a mansion in Dallas, Texas, in 2016 from fellow golfer Hunter Mahan for more over ten thousand square feet.
