Jordan Spieth is widely regarded as one of the world’s best golfers, with enormous potential. Despite this, the golfer has struggled in recent years, and his most recent PGA Tour victory came in April 2022 at the RBC Heritage Cup. Brandel Chamblee recently discussed Spieth’s tough patch, referring to him as a nuclear power.
All of this began after Paul Hodowanic, a PGA Tour staff writer, posted a story about Jordan Spieth on the tour’s official website. The article was centered on whether Spieth has another huge run in him or not. Hodowanic shared the piece on X and explained how Spieth was once a pocket dynamite. His X post read as follows,
“Transcendent. The Golden Child. A generational superstar. That was Jordan Spieth. He begins 2026 in Hawaii with hopes to get back there. Does he have another peak in him?”
Reposting this, Brandel Chamblee explained how Jordan Spieth had a very sneaky year in 2025. The commentator noted how the golfer’s 2025 was statistically comparable to his 2017, indicating that he can make a massive comeback this season. Chamblee also remarked that when the 13-time PGA Tour winner returns to form, he is a nuclear power. Chamblee’s X post reads,
“He had a sneaky very good year in 2025. Statistically, as good as he has been since 2017. He’s one of the smartest and best people in the game. At half speed he’s a gift to golf but when he’s on, he’s a nuclear power plant to engagement.”
Aside from that, Spieth recently discussed his offseason and how he is dealing with making gradual improvements.
Jordan Spieth describes how “it has to work slowly sometimes”
Jordan Spieth discussed how he feels about his practice in a PGA Tour interview. The golfer confessed that even after years of effort, there are only a few gains, but he thinks that they are the only small improvements that matter to him. According to the website of the PGA Tour, the golfer remarked
“You gotta feel like you’re moving something 10 inches to move it an inch. So then you stand over a shot, and you have a pin tucked by water right, and you have to feel like you’re going to swing in the middle of the water, and you’re just not going to do that. Because you’re going to do it once and it will go in the middle of the water, and you’re going to be like, ‘What the heck?’ It has to work slowly sometimes.”
The 32-year-old will begin his 2026 season at the Sony Hawaii Open, starting January 15 at the Waiʻalae Country Club. The tournament will consist of a total of 144 golfers squaring off for a total prize pool of $9.1 million.
