Jordan Spieth is playing in the John Deere Classic this week as he goes in search of his first PGA Tour win since April 2022.
Spieth has experienced all sorts of problems with his golf game over the past few years.
And the 32-year-old’s 2026 PGA Tour season has been extremely underwhelming so far, with zero top-10 finishes to his name.

His Career Grand Slam hopes appear to be over for another year
Despite his poor recent form, Jordan Spieth is still one of the biggest stars on the PGA Tour and he is a real needle-mover wherever he plays.
Spieth has continually insisted that he is close to rediscovering his very best form, but the stats simply don’t back that up.
However, if he is to return to the winners’ circle, what better tournament for him to do it in than the John Deere Classic?
Jordan Spieth makes statement about his game ahead of the John Deere Classic
Spieth possesses a fantastic record at TPC Deere Run, with two wins and three top-10 finishes in five career starts.
So he will be hoping that a return to Silvis, Illinois, will inspire him.
Spieth spoke to reporters on Tuesday ahead of the John Deere Classic, and responded when asked to provide an update on where his game is at right now.
“It all depends how you point it out,“ the three-time major champion admitted.
“I haven’t really had a chance to win coming down on Sunday, which is kind of the disappointing side. There’s been a consistency level that was better than years past.
“The last month I felt like I played kind of the same level of golf and didn’t get a whole lot out of it. I had some opportunities in some big events to obviously maintain kind of the trajectory I was on.
“I’m not letting it get to me. I feel like my game is in a really good state. I’m more consistent and an all-around better player than I’ve been in a long time. If I stay the course, the results will come.“
Jordan Spieth says he needs to put everything together at the same time
Spieth responded when asked to clarify exactly what he believes has been the best part of his game this season.
“I mean that statistically I feel like I could lead every category on a given week, and I have this year,“ he said.
“It means that each part of my game can be at the highest level. I just haven’t put it together and put it together consistently enough yet.
“But my mechanics are mainly what’s significantly better. Then the build-up of confidence, trusting in my wrist, simple things. That wasn’t always something that was an issue, but when it was, it was.
“So a lot of factors, but I mean, all this last offseason I probably worked as hard as I had since I was 13 or 14 years old on mechanics. I feel like I don’t have to — I played a lot of the season feeling like I had to exaggerate a lot, but I would get it to the right place.
Do you believe Jordan Spieth can get back to his best?
How many times will he win on the PGA Tour this season?
“It’s hard to be consistent feeling a super exaggerated move. I like to feel something, but I don’t want it to be crazy.
“I feel like as the year has progressed, I’ve actually been able to — it’s been tighter and tighter and tighter, but whether it’s some decisions I’ve made or just, you know, a bad putting round or a bad putting tournament or maybe I hit two drives left on the wrong hole.
“It’s been a different thing certain tournaments that prevented me from having a chance on Sunday. Instead, I was starting in 18th and I finished 13th.
“To me it’s, like, okay, well maybe one week I’ll get away with that drive or something like that. When you win, a lot of times you kind of — you get away with something or a ball carries a bunker, and you made eagle versus, you know, going in it and making par.
“Just little things that happen throughout the first few days that I just have not been quite consistent enough, even though my overall game is way more consistent and the tools are all there at each area. That’s what I mean.“
