Three-time major winner Jordan Spieth has added a new club to his bag ahead of this week’s Cognizant Classic at PGA National in Florida.

PGA Tour stars are constantly tinkering with equipment and often make changes depending on the course they’re playing.

For example, at the Scottish Open and Open Championship, most of the field will utilise driving irons instead of lofted woods and hybrids. Fortunately for the pros, they can quickly visit a tour bus and configure any club within hours, a luxury amateur golfers don’t have.

Spieth, the highest-profile name in the Cognizant Classic field, will test a new hybrid at PGA National after contemplating using the club at the Genesis Invitational.

Jordan Spieth details club decision at Cognizant Classic

Speaking during his pre-tournament press conference, Spieth explained how the GT hybrid met a lot of the criteria he was looking for.

“Yeah, I was looking at — at Torrey Pines, I was looking at — it’s just so different than the desert. I put in a seven-wood, but then now I’ve got back to the hybrid. But the new hybrid, the GT,” Spieth said.

“For me, it’s all about distance gaps. For a hybrid, it’s about the look, first and foremost, and then I can hit a draw that spins enough, and from there, the club is pretty easy for me. It passes the look test, hits the yardage window, and then I can turn it and have it stay in the air, are the combinations.
I play a driving iron a few events a year, and then I’ve almost always played a hybrid.

“The only times I’ve played a seven-wood are the US Open at Torrey Pines and then the tournament a couple weeks ago. It’s a good club. I was just hitting them last week, and the hybrid was just a little bit more consistent in accuracy for me.”

The latest on Jordan Spieth’s injury

The Cognizant Classic will be Spieth’s fourth start of the season after he returned to action last month.

Spieth underwent wrist surgery last year, and the American admitted it still hurt during the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

What’s more, at the Genesis Invitational, Spieth delivered another concerning update. “It beat it up pretty good, but I’m hoping this next week, laying off of it for five or six days and working on it with therapy,” he said.

“It’s just inflammation, so hopefully, it will just go away, and this will end up being a good thing that I kind of pushed it.”

With Spieth teeing it up at PGA National, it’s clear he feels his wrist is in a good place to compete on Tour despite his recent issues.

Jordan Spieth’s 2025 PGA Tour record

Spieth started his 2025 season with a T69 finish at Pebble Beach. After struggling during the first three rounds, Spieth carded a five-under 67 to end his week on a high.

The following week at the WM Phoenix Open, Spieth looked back to his best and posted four consecutive rounds in the 60s. Unfortunately, Belgian Thomas Detry took control of the tournament and comfortably secured his first Tour title.

At the Genesis Invitational, Spieth missed the cut after shooting 76 and 74 at Torrey Pines. The cooler weather and thick rough were far from ideal for the American and his wrist.
