Early this season, Jordan Spieth shared the news of his growing family. In February on The Smylie Show, he announced, “We have a third coming in July, so it’s busy.” The golf world reacted with excitement. A few months later, Spieth again spoke about his preparations ahead of the baby’s arrival for an interview on Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams, saying, “trying to get all the work in before baby comes and make sure everybody is good, and then I will head overseas [for The Open].” Now, a few days later, it looks like Father Time is going to keep Jordan Spieth busy for a while!

According to the latest update, Jordan Spieth plans to spend a few days with his family before heading to The Open Championship. This comes after Spieth announced the arrival of his newborn on Sunday, sharing a heartfelt post on Instagram that read, “We added a new member to the foursome – Sully Spieth! Everyone is doing great 💙.” He also shared a picture of a sleeping (and content) Sully surrounded by the family members.

Jordan Spieth and his wife Annie Verret, married since November 2018, already have two children: son Sammy, born November 14, 2021, and daughter Sophie, born September 12, 2023. Now they’ve welcomed their third child, Sully. And the golf world is celebrating this occasion just as they did in 2021, with the birth of Sammy.

A few days after Sammy was born, Spieth took to X and Instagram and said, “Sammy Spieth born 11/14. Mama and baby doing great! Feeling blessed!” The then PGA Tour pro, Brooks Koepka, congratulated Spieth and said, “Congrats bro! That’s awesome.” Similarly, Luke Donald said, “The best! Congrats Spieths!! And this time around as well, the golf world is busy celebrating Spieth’s third child.

Hold on – The golf world is busy celebrating Jordan Spieth’s family!

First up are, of course, the official handles of the PGA Tour and the U.S. Open. Given the happy news, the PGA Tour said, “Congratulations to you and your family 💙,” while the U.S. Open commented, “Congrats Jordan!” Interestingly, the arrival of Sully also marks a notable anniversary, as it coincides with another major milestone in Jordan Spieth’s life that took place 12 years ago. In 2013, Jordan Spieth made history by becoming the youngest PGA Tour winner in 82 years, claiming the John Deere Classic title at just 19 years old, a feat not seen since Ralph Guldahl won the Santa Monica Open in 1931.

However, the golf world has seen another notable family milestone this season as well. Early this season, PGA Tour pro Tony Finau and his wife Layla welcomed their sixth child, a baby girl, into their family. While celebrating such happy news, especially Jordan Spieth’s, one fan said, “How beautiful congratulations all 🩵,” while another said, “God bless you and your growing family 🤍.”

One fan hoped that Sully’s arrival would bring a significant change in Jordan Spieth’s golfing life, like perhaps inspiring him to win his second The Open Championship title, following his 2017 victory. The fan said, “this means he’s gonna win the open.” In his 11 The Open Championship appearances, Spieth has scored 5 top 10 finishes, including a win in 2017. Aside from that, in his first Royal Portrush appearance in 2019, he finished T20. Let’s hope it’s all up from here for Jordan Spieth and his family!
