‘Too Talented’ Jordan Spieth’s Miserable $130K Fall Against PGA Tour’s Most Successful Caddie Doesn’t Break Fans’ Will
Jordan Spieth‘s 2024 season has been marked by inconsistency and a nagging wrist injury, leading many in the golf world to question whether he can return to the winner’s circle this year. However, his loyal fans remain confident. It’s been two years since Spieth last hoisted a PGA Tour trophy. The unfortunate run of the 13-time PGA Tour winner does not stop there.
It gets worse. In the 2024 season, Spieth has played 17 events, missing the cut for five and being disqualified from one. In the remaining eleven events, the 3-time major winner did finish three times in the top 10, but that’s all. It had been all forgetful finishes after it and was mostly out of the top 30s. Evidently, this display of poor form also meant that Spieth earned less this season. He accumulated only $2.50 million from all the events.
A drastic difference when compared to Scottie Scheffler’s trusted bagman, Ted Scott. Courtesy of the world #1’s six victories and other top finishes, Scott has earned $130,000 more than Spieth, having 2024 on-course earnings of $2.63 million. This comparison might have shown that his career was in jeopardy.

However, through thick and thin, the loyal fans of the 30-year-old have supported him and firmly believe that, sooner or later, the 13-time PGA Tour winner will secure another victory. In the end, it is just a matter of time, and fans are still hopeful for Spieth to find his fiery form again!
Netizens still hope Jordan Spieth can turn his forgetful season around
It’s not just about the victories; Jordan Spieth hasn’t even had a runner-up finish since his T2 at the 2023 RBC Heritage, highlighting a clear decline in his form. However, the 30-year-old boasts thirteen PGA Tour victories and three majors, demonstrating his undeniable skill. Thus, this fan believed that despite recent challenges Spieth’s talent remains intact, “Jordan is too talented and too good not to pull out lots of wins or even majors in the next few years. Hopefully he wins win this year.”
Seven times this season, Spieth has finished outside the top 25 on the leaderboard. Moreover, he recently carded the worst finish so far at the Travelers Championship by tying for the 64th spot. Undoubtedly, his performance has been disappointing, to say the least. But even with that, Spieth could earn more than $2 million, which surprised this user. They commented, “Honestly surprised Jordan has made that many money this year given his results hopefully he finishes the year strong.”
The PGA Tour has gone through various events, including the eight signature events this season, the last of which was the Travelers Championship, which concluded last week. In the next two months, the season would end. However, there are still around ten events remaining, where Spieth can try his luck and earn more. This fan hoped for the same as they said, “Still a lot of season left!!!” Another echoed a similar emotion: that Spieth could still get plenty of chances to change his winless streak and win again. Then, this comparison between Ted Scott and the PGA Tour pro would be null. Hence, they demanded, “Take this down right now.”
Amidst the growing hope for Spieth to return to his former form, there was one who shared a contrasting sentiment. The 30-year-old last won a major nearly seven years ago at Royal Birkdale. Taking the fact into account, one netizen commented, “I’m glad Jordan got that 2017 Open cause I don’t think he wins another major so at least he’s a lock for HOF.”
It has been a tough year for Jordan Spieth as he has attempted to change his declining form. But with only two months left in the season, will he be able to make a comeback? It remains to be seen.
