A lot of comparisons have been made between Jordan Spieth and the once-great Tiger Woods, just as Tiger Woods was once compared to the King, Arnold Palmer. Jordan Spieth’s name nowadays is being uttered by many sports experts and historians right alongside the sport’s all-time greats, and with very good reason. He is a phenomenon in every sense of the word and indeed the golfer of tomorrow that is showing the world what he is capable of, today.

While Spieth may be wowing fans, experts, and critics, a lot of witnesses to his achievements agree that he still has room to grow and improve. This isn’t at all good news to many of Spieth’s contemporaries.
Just the past year, Spieth had an unforgettable duel with another amazing pro golfer, Dustin Johnson. Both were gunning for the number one ranking in the golf world. It was during this time that many people had come to recognize Spieth for what he was – a cut above the rest.

Spieth is the first golfer under 24 to win three majors and at least 10 tour titles. Not even Woods had done that. Even before Spieth blasted into the professional scene, he ruled the amateurs with two U.S. Junior Amateur titles under his belt.
