The Texas Longhorns kicked off their highly anticipated college football season recently. And one of their most crucial matches was against Alabama. The sport has other athletes involved too, even though they are just fans, and Jordan Spieth is one of them. The golf pro is quite open about his love affair with football and recently proved his excitement when he predicted his hometown’s win.

Spieth will play for national glory in Rome in the upcoming weeks. He was Zach Johnson’s (Team USA Captain) pick for the Ryder Cup season. And he recently announced his one focus: winning the Cup. According to Jordan Spieth, the plan is to make as many birdies as possible on the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club. Maybe the 30-year-old’s confidence is infectious. First he made it to the Ryder Cup, and then he showed some optimism towards the Texas Longhorns as well.

Jordan Spieth defines his choices and predicts the winners

The PGA Tour pro studied at the University of Texas and naturally supports the home team. After last season’s loss, Jordan Spieth was sure the Texas Longhorns would make it this year. And true to his predictions, Quinn Ewers and his team avenged last year’s loss.

In an Instagram reel posted on his handle, Jordan Spieth can be seen predicting many wins and losses. In the beginning, while speaking about the Texas Longhorns vs. Alabama Crimson Tide, he said, “It’s a win. Maybe not as big as I predicted last year. Maybe 35-30 Texas.” Spieth also captioned the video, “Here we go again…,” as a reference to his last year’s prediction.

The winning score was 34-24 in Texas. Spieth did come quite close to predicting the win and the score for his home team. The Texas team has been trying to get back in the game for a while now. Seeing the team reach a new and better rank than their current ranking, No. 11, will be interesting.

Brooks Koepka commented on Jordan Spieth’s video tagging Justin Thomas. It’s interesting because Thomas went to Alabama. Is Brooks Koepka trying to spark some friendly football banter between the two golfers? Nevertheless, the 3-time major winner’s loyalty to Texas is now cemented.

Spieth profoundly connects with the University of Texas and all the intercollegiate teams. He himself played golf, representing it and leading his team to victory at the NCAA Championship during his freshman year. Hence, the former Longhorn was cheering for the current Longhorns. However, the fans will soon cheer for Spieth in Spain.

The Ryder Cup squad heads to Rome already

Even though Jordan Spieth was missing from the squad, nine out of 12 US players headed to Rome for the prep. Though the Ryder Cup is still a couple of weeks away, the players are already there, preparing for press conferences. And visiting the course, which will decide who gets to keep the trophy and win national glory.

While American fans expect to keep the trophy, Team Europe will come to take it away. And seeing players arrive at the coveted cup’s destination increases that excitement twofold. Do you think Luke Donald’s team can lose on home soil?
