PGA Tour urges Spieth to play fall events to safeguard star power

Spieth failed to crack the FedEx Cup top 50, ending his season with a 19th-place finish at the FedEx St. Jude Championship and missing the BMW Championship for the third straight year. The piece argues the PGA Tour should require Spieth to participate in at least a couple of Fall events (via sponsor invites if needed) to keep his box-office appeal alive and boost attention heading into 2027, noting sponsor invites may dwindle and a strong Fall showing—starting with events like the Baycurrent Classic—would silence critics and support the Tour’s schedule.

Spieth’s Open Championship Odyssey: From Range Drop to Regal 15th Eagle

Jordan Spieth’s 2017 Open win at Royal Birkdale became a legendary roller-coaster: a chaotic 13th hole after his ball seemingly vanished on a steep hill led to a long relief process that pushed him toward the driving-range area for a drop, followed by a tense back nine before a late burst—capped by a stunning 50-foot eagle on the par-5 15th—that sealed a three-shot victory over Matt Kuchar and cemented Spieth’s place near the career Grand Slam. He reflects on Augusta 2016’s meltdown, explains how he and caddie Michael Greller stayed calm and efficient, and notes they rarely rewatch that Open, even as the memory remains vivid.
