Jordan Spieth, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer can all call themselves Masters champions, having all triumphed at Augusta National.

Talk of Spieth winning the career grand slam has started after Rory McIlroy became the latest champion of The Masters.

The American won the competition in 2015, before triumphing at the US Open in the same year and The Open Championship in 2017.

A former world number one, Spieth has 13 PGA Tour wins to his name, but his last success arrived in 2022.

And after a lengthy issue with his wrist, he is now looking to get back to winning ways, having posted two top 10 finishes in 2025 so far.

What Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer told Jordan Spieth about Augusta National

Tiger Woods advice helped Spieth win The Masters a decade ago, but the latter has now shared insight he received from legendary figures Nicklaus and Palmer ahead of his debut in 2014.

Speaking for The Masters on YouTube, he said: “The first year I played I was in a conversation with just two people, it was Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, under the big tree and they both gave me advice on playing the golf course before I played it for my first Masters.

“This was either on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon. They were just telling me essentially that you can putt from the centre of the green on every hole.

“At that point I don’t even know if I heard anything they were saying, I was more like is anyone seeing this, what I am doing right now?”

What is Jordan Spieth’s results history at The Masters?

Spieth really has thrived at Augusta National over the years, with the advice from Nicklaus and Palmer seemingly having a long-term impact on him.

Having finished T14 earlier this month, the American has now made the cut in 10 of his 12 starts at the major championship.

He battled through a slow start in his latest attempt to finish strongly, having carded rounds of 73, 73, 69 and 70.

Spieth’s success at the competition has earned him over $6,000,000 and counting, with another green jacket certainly on the cards in the near future.
