Friendship: Justin Thomas Pranks His Pal Jordan Spieth, But It’s Thomas Who Pays
Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth, friends since their junior golf days, are known for their playful rivalry. During the 2015 Waste Management Phoenix Open, Thomas tried to prank Spieth by parking in his reserved spot, knowing how rare the clubhouse spots were for players. Thomas even sent Spieth a Snapchat showing he’d taken the spot, confident he’d pulled one over on his friend.
However, Spieth wasn’t about to let Thomas get away with it. When he arrived, Spieth quickly devised a plan to prank Thomas right back. With a little help from the valet staff, Spieth arranged for Thomas’s car to be towed to another parking lot entirely. Spieth even told the valet to keep quiet, ensuring Thomas would spend hours confused and searching for his vehicle.
Spieth, in on the joke the entire time, watched as Thomas’s text messages grew increasingly panicked, asking where his car was and if he was serious about moving it.
When Thomas finally discovered his car was safe but parked far away, the tables had completely turned. It was Spieth who emerged victorious, with a big grin and a satisfied sense of revenge. This story shows that in their friendly rivalry, even the most well-planned pranks don’t always go as expected.
Since then, Thomas and Spieth’s playful exchanges have only grown, with fans appreciating the bond and humor they share off the course. Their camaraderie adds a refreshing dose of fun to the competitive world of professional golf, showing that even top athletes can laugh at themselves — and each other.
