Jordan Spieth’s game has been struggling this season. Having missed a total of five cuts, a disqualification nightmare at the Genesis Invitational, and secured only three top-10 finishes in his 18 starts, with his other finishes falling well below the top-25 benchmark, Spieth has not had the smoothest season thus far.

But it seems that’s bound to change following the 30-year-old’s attempts to befriend Karma. The Jordan Spieth Family Foundation has made a generous $250k donation to the Cobbs Creek Foundation in West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This large sum is donated to build a 20,000-sq.-ft. youth practice green on the Pennsylvania course’s campus, just outside of the TGR Learning Lab, in hopes “to grow the game of golf and support the youth of Philadelphia… where young players can be introduced to the sport, develop their skills, and foster a love for golf.” 

Following this good deed, Spieth is seeing a probable comeback on the greens. Currently teeing it up at the John Deere Classic at the TPC Deere Run, the famous “Spieth Saturdays” seem to have returned, with the pro golfer having shot a total of eight birdies by the time he reached the 12th hole in Round 3 and climbing to the top few spots. This resurgence comes shortly after undergoing speculations about whether Spieth will make the cut or not.

This unexpected yet swift comeback has left Spieth’s fans stunned. After all, a win or a finish in the top few spots might be on the charts for Spieth if he maintains his pace, something fans could only dream of before this weekend. While a fair share of fans congratulated Spieth for his climb back to glory, others had a deep-rooted fear of another stroke of disappointment awaiting them. So what is it that the golf world exactly has to say?

Jordan Spieth’s tryst with destiny leaves fans amused

The way the golf world reacted proved one thing: this is what they have been awaiting: a Jordan Spieth comeback. A shocked (yet hopeful) fan excitedly wrote, “Is he back??? “ As far as the R3 scorecard of the John Deere Classic goes, it seems Spieth is back, at least momentarily (and we hope not to jinx it anytime soon).

Another fan who has been awaiting this moment for a long time expressed their happiness as the good times began to roll and wrote, “Oh my. Where has this been?? Golf is better when we see this sight.” Jordan Spieth is a veteran, no doubt there. With 3 major championships to his name and 19 professional wins all across, fans indeed love to see him play.

“DUDE IS KILLING IT TODAY,” wrote another fan brimming with happiness. After all, the 13-time PGA Tour winner has been winless for quite some time now, and the desperation in the eyes of his loyal fanbase is as evident as possible. To be precise, he won his last event in 2022, which was the RBC Heritage. Many of his fans seemed to be happy that he at least did not miss the cut this weekend, and is in contention.

Not everyone was entirely optimistic, however. Despite being hopeful, this one fan clung a little too hard to the fear of his favorite almost missing to reignite his lost magic and wrote, “I’m ready to be hurt again.” While they expressed their willingness to follow through with Spieth’s journey, they seem to be trying their best to keep their hopes rooted in reality.

One of the fans turned on their analyst hat and perceptively wrote, “The winning score is going to be at least 20-under. He needs to finish strongly today and get on another heater tomorrow if he hopes to win.” Fan’s caution, despite being rooted in practicality, always glimmered with the light of hope and their dire attempt to offer help to their favorite star as much as they possibly could. As of now, he has played 16 holes and is looking forward to a good finish.

While it remains to be seen whether Spieth will be able to maintain this charm going into the final round or not? What do you think? Will Spieth be able to end his drought?
