Jordan Spieth returned to PGA Tour action this season after undergoing wrist surgery at the end of last year.

Spieth has won 13 times on the PGA Tour throughout his career, including three major championship triumphs.

However, the 32-year-old has not been in the winner’s circle since April 2022, and he will be desperate to change that when the 2026 season begins.

Spieth recently insisted he still has the ambition to become world number one again, but that feels like a long way off right now.

The man from Dallas, Texas, failed to advance to the final two FedEx Cup playoff events this season after finishing outside the top 50 on the points list.

His main goals for 2026 will firstly be to win again and secondly get back to East Lake at the end of the year.

He won’t be playing on the Ryder Cup team this year but perhaps that will be a good thing for him.

Spieth needs to completely reset in the off-season, so that he is able to come back stronger next year.

Jordan Spieth’s coach says what he’s really like to work with

Spieth has been coached by highly regarded golf instructor Cameron McCormick since he was 12.

So the two have clearly formed a really close bond over the past 20 years.

Interestingly, Rich Beem suggested that Spieth may need to move away from McCormick earlier this year.

However, Spieth has stuck by his long-term coach, and they clearly work very well together.

McCormick shared what the three-time major champion is really like to work with, when speaking on Titleist’s Excellence in Progress series on YouTube.

He said: “There is never a conversation we have that pertains to a need to do more, he’s always willing to do more.

“That’s the attitude of excellence. That willingness to do more in the face of time challenges, in the face of other obligations.“

The areas of Jordan Spieth’s game he must improve ahead of the 2026 season

Spieth would have been hugely frustrated after he missed out on qualifying for the Tour Championship at East Lake.

But which department of his game let him down in 2025?

Judging by those stats, if Spieth is to win again any time soon, he will need to improve upon his iron play and his putting during the off-season.

Spieth’s weakness historically has been his driving, but he was generally really good off the tee in 2025.

The three-time major champion is clearly a very hard worker, so there’s no reason why he can’t win again on the PGA Tour very soon.
