Jordan Spieth wants to get back to his old form, and he hopes this weekend at Pebble Beach is the start of that.
Spieth, of course, won the Masters and US Open in 2015, then ran for green jackets before what has become an infamous collapse. Since then, he has won the PGA Championship, but has never quite regained what he used to have in mind.
This weekend, however, Spieth will be on a famous course where he has won before, taking home the 2017 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

“There’s no better place on planet Earth than Pebble Beach when it’s 65 degrees,” Spieth said in a recent interview with Pakinomist Digital.
Spieth and the Pro-Am have one thing in common in their respective partnerships with AT&T. This year marks the 41st that AT&T will sponsor the Pro-Am.
“I think it’s one of the best golf courses in the world, not to mention now as a high event, it’s now become one of the best tournaments in the world at one of the best golf courses in the world,” Spieth said. “The fact that it almost feels like a home event for me. There’s a lot of things that AT&T does to make me feel welcome, they’re rooting for me, just like everyone rooting for me at the event, which is pretty awesome. It’s a great way to kick off the year.”
Incredibly, Spieth is only 32 years old, with plenty of golf ahead of him. Admittedly, he’s looking a bit at the young bucks taking over the game, especially considering that since the turn of the decade, 15 of the last 23 major winners are younger than Spieth.

“It’s funny, even after I’d been on Tour, six, seven years, you know, they were only a couple of years younger than me, and I knew them from grade school and high school, college, so I knew who they were, and then all of a sudden now I’m like, man, I don’t, these guys were born after 2000,” Spieth joked.
“But you know, I feel good, right? Like, I feel healthy. I’m at a different stage in life now that I’ve got three little kids that take the show on the road. I feel like I’ve started to find that balance the last couple of years.”
Spieth has earned less than $5.5 million in the past two golf seasons after earning more than $7 million in 2023 alone, and last year was the first Ryder Cup he didn’t make since playing in his first in 2014. But being an Open Championship win away from becoming the seventh golfer ever to achieve the career grand slam, he’s yet to write himself.
“I’m looking to try to have a really solid run. I’m looking for consistency. I’m looking for the consistency that I know I’m capable of that I had in the first five, six years of my career where it felt like, you know, every week I got it up and not to say I didn’t miss a cut here or there or have some off weeks and I was out that week and felt like I was in the most week. And that kind of consistency leads to results,” Spieth said.

“I’d love to pick up more majors. I’d love to duplicate the career I’ve had at this point over the next eight years, right? Like, as far as wins, majors, whatever. But the road to that is just getting more consistent again. I feel like that level of consistency is right around the corner again, and it’s going to pay off.”
