Bobby Jones: âCompetitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course, the space between your ears.â ... âGolf is the hardest game in the world to play.
My thoughts exactly.
I don't know who said this, golf can only be played and can never be beat.
Bobby was sure correct! What a wonderful, frustrating, game....
College girlfriend compared it to bowling. We broke up soon afterwards.
Totally agree you can go from good to bad in a swing and fuck tour while game
it's that $50 mill in his back pocket weighing him down.
Probably vicodin addiction.
$50 million? Donât insult him.
@ipmala Ya both he and Tiger were just relentlessly determined..its amazing how they made it look so easy during their primes..It seemed like Jack was gonna win every major he played in and it seemed like Tiger was never gonna stop domimating..14-0 with a 54 hole lead in majors (until the 2009 PGA) is the definition of clutch..especially in golf where there is no one to help you..Thats why I view Tiger as the clutchest athlete of all time..Sorry Jordan
$100 mil plus*

He got married, thatâs what stuffed him up. Lol.
True it imbalanced his mental game

Damn women, career killers, lol
People like to say that, but being engaged doesnât?

Great series, thanks for all the hard work and research. Jordan is now back!!! How many hole outs has he already had the year, unbelievable!
It has been said, âYou only rent the game.â
Itâs been a long 4 years but heâs back!!!! Heâs been the most consistent golfer on tour the last couple months I wouldnât be surprised if he wins the masters next week! Back in the winners circle đȘđȘ
Hahahahhaah

Lol!!!!!! Absolutely not
@@MarkSmithhhhwhy are you even here?
@@bradley2060why are you? Dingus
Hard to imagine how close he is / was to the career grand slam at such an early age and now struggling.
Spieth's issues show just how hard golf is and how hard it is to remain successful for long periods
Unless youâre a lion
Or a tiger
Pete Rose said about baseball:
"Never change your swing, your swing got you into the big leagues"
This should apply to golf as well. Never change your swing.
@@AlonsoRules Agreed, if it's not broken don't fix it.
@Red Greene I usually fail at the Crocodile and The Clown holes.
What a comprehensive and fluid video. Very well done.
When you hear it all at once, you realize how insane his 2015-2017 was. In 69 events, 10 wins, 3 majors, 35 top tens.
Tiger had by far way more in the season in 1999 to 2001
@@billliberati9840 Five majors in addition to - a stretch from the middle of the 1999 season through the middle of the 2001 season, Woods won 20 of the 38 stroke-play events he played on the Tour (a .526 win percentage). In those events, Woods was a combined 472 under, a cumulative score 307 shots better than anyone else. Vijay Singh was second.
Exactly dude...but think about it...when you have a run like that and your expectstion is to keep it going, that basically means your bar of success is to be "the best golfer ever" on par with woods and nicklaus...im sorry if that is the bar thats set, unless you are one of maybe 10 people in the world that check all the boxes to do that in ANY sport, ur going to be disappointed...guys like that, well, they don't really exist most of the time...thats why guys like Michael jordan, tiger woods, Jack nicklaus, michael Phelps, Lance Armstrong, cael Sanderson, Dan gable, etc...guys that when you watch them, it actually defies what you thought was even possible in a given sport...in fact its so so rare that many sports haven't yet even seen someone like that...he came out thought and then regressed to his average, which is #80ish in the world...but now the bar is set so high that this young talented kid had to endure constant media reports of how washed up he is...please...hes not washed, hes very very good...hes just not the greatest golfer ever, even tho he played like it for a couple years...hes a very elite golfer, capable of winning majors, but won't win them all the time and will have huge gaps between them...and will have long periods of highs and lows... but there are only 79 people in the world better than him, id say hes definitely elite, but he's just not the best in the world...big deal, stop saying hes washed, when ur "low" is dropping to #80 on earth, id say ur still doing fine
I really think that his early success and all the expectations have fucked with head, the talent doesn't disappear...again tho, thats why the goats are so special, they never had a problem with pressure or expectation or disappointment in the eyes of the public...they love it, it gives them a chance to show them up, and they just relish in it like they "know" they're the best, and whatever they do, even they themselves isn't good enough so they just keep going...im seriously convinced at any given time on earth there are less than 10 people that even exist like that
@@MarkSmithhhh very well said
@@MarkSmithhhh Please do not compare Lance Armstrong with anybody. He was a cheat and he won by cheating. Other wise I agree with your comment.
Heâs the only one that gave me tiger feels while watching him.... he was just so clutch when he needed to be back then.
Hope he gets his game back soon
Rory was like that for a while too, he's still a top 10 player but that intimidation factor is gone
@@DanielSong39 Thats what makes golf so unforgiving..you can only stay on top for so long before you lose your edge or someone else takes your spot..its amazing how easy Tiger made it look
Great video series. Keep it up man!
Thanks a lot! đđ»
Really enjoyed this, great work đ
Thanks mate â€ïž
Hey bro hope you are well. Sorry we haven't been able to visit you for a while we were in Bulgaria then Malta were we got stuck due to Covid and flights we're cancelled. But great to catch up with you again. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us on this awesome golfer. Stay safe and catch up again real soon God bless.
Good video thanks for the career recap
Well put together video, sir!
man can you please make more movies like this?! Great stuff. how about something on the big 3 of golf or maybe ernie colin vijay the 90s people. Lot of potential!
When i saw this video pop up in my recommendations i did think 'Yeah.... what did happen to Jordan Spieth?'
I'm only a casual fan of golf but i really can't believe it was 5 years ago that he had his patch of incredible form.... i know time goes by faster and faster the more you age but that really blows my mind.
Nice video though.
Butch will save him like he saved DJ.
Has he went to butch?
Where was Butch at Masters ?
Dude was on serious brain lock !
See him regripping at practice tee ?
Looked like ol Sergio at his worst .
If Butch has thorn stuck in butt, delegate someone . Tiger fired Butch for a reason
@@stevengriffin5349 n word please!
butch is retired
@@Centretard true and Tiger fired him for reasons.
Good info. Thanks
well done, keep up the good & hard work.
Thank you đđ»
He became rich, got married and that was that!!!!!
great video, professional feel! âđŒ
What happened to him is the same thing that happened to every other golfer that tried to add distance with the driver they fell apart and lost their confidence and feel
I agree with others that his pursuit of more distance but I can pinpoint the event. His downfall started after his playoff loss to Dustin Johnson at the 2017 Northern Trust. Dustin hit a huge drive over the lake leaving himself a short wedge to the green while Jordon was left with a mid to long iron. Shortly after that loss, it appeared to me that Jordon started to make swing changes to pursue more distance. Hope he gets back to his natural swing and starts winning again.
Great video! Iâm sure heâll be back it was crazy though because it looked like he was going to dominate the game
thanks for the video! i just went back and watched 2015 masters and 2016 masters. so incredible to watch! his swing was so natural and relaxed in 2015; you could see wobbles early in the final round of 2016 before disaster on 12. i don't think he's ever fully recovered from that. i agree w/ many of the comments that his putting used to bail out his poor ball striking; no way he could keep making 20+ footers forever. i think he needs a new coach and maybe a switch @ caddie; he seems overly dependent on his caddie, whom i like but jordan needs to stand on his own and figure this out.
He should have never changed his swing, it looked perfectly fine
That's what I don't get, why go from the top of the world stage to changing your swing, makes no sense. Does anyone really think they're capable of all holes in one on par 3's, all double eagles on par 4's, and all albatrosses on par 5's.
@@imnotabotrlyimnot he was forced to change his swing. It came out earlier this year that he had a hand/finger issue that caused so much pain that he had to loosen grip up and change it so he could play.
Tiger changed his swing to preserve himself. The one thing these players need to do is keep their lives uncomplicated, especially when your life started simple. Tiger's life got chaotic and his game stunk.
See that's the thing about golf. A lot of talented golfers don't even make it to the tour until their late 20's. Jordan is 27 and has already risen to the top, struggled through a 3+ year slump, had people make "what happened to" documentaries about them, and then risen back to the top. In just this year he has gone from 80th in the world back up to 23rd, won a tournament and banked nearly 5 million dollars in tournament earnings (not counting endorsements) in the 20-21 season.
Great video; hope he bounces back as Iâve always enjoyed watching him, just recently it hasnât been going well......
Yeah heâll be back definitely, just donât know how long it will take
Really well done video đ
Thank you!
Nice vid bud
Thank you Ned and thanks for the subđđ»
Something happened mentally with spieth..imo. He has wierd Tantrums on the course.. I think he got rich...and he got married...and his mind ....Changed.
Tried to chase yardage with his driver
Excellent video. đ€
He showing good form again , glad to see him bk
This aged well đđđ, thankfully!
Good job! Enjoyed this video and watched all the way through. Hopefully he starts to play better soon.
Thanks a lot! Heâll be back
His funky swing has caught up to him.
You need an extra piece in this video now boss
Great videos đ
If you told him in 2017 while he was holding the claret jug that it would be his last win for 3 and a half years heâd have got you taken away in a straight jacket. Letâs hope he canât clutch up a win tomorrow, once he gets one title heâll take off again. Heâs won the lot was so close to doing the grand slam in 2015 absolutely insane in this era!!!
Nice vid. Many comments about his disaster on#12 at the Masters. Tiger made a â10â there @ this monthâs Masters. Golf is hard. Spieth will rebound. Butch is a great suggestion.
Same thing that happens to every young golf superstar...they play constantly all through High School and College... then win on tour and become independent millionaires in their early 20's.... what do ya think is happening there, lol
Great video, it takes a lot to be that good for so long, spieth will come back for sure. He has way to much talent and I feel as if he is just thinking to much over the ball
Great video ahout Jordan Spieths career. Cheers ! :)
Thanks for watching
The talent level in the field right now is ridiculous. So many good players. I like watching him play. hopefully we'll see him win again. I think so.
He started trying to "fix" his unorthodox swing, because it wasn't pretty enough.
He chased distance and forgot that his putter won him all his championships.
Gonna be a long time before we get to enjoy another season like his in 2015. That was something else.
Only one who knows is Jordan. We all saw Tiger struggle at times throughout his career with swing changes so it could just be that. I can only imagine at that level the trust needed in yourself in what youâre doing so when you change something youâve done all your life, itâs natural for it to take a while to ingrain it into the old golf noggin. From what i see, heâs working so hard on fixing one thing that the rest of his game, particularly his chipping and putting, have also suffered as a result. I hope he figures it out as it was a joy watching another potential great career blossom. Reality is, golf is freaking hard even for the best of them and staying at the highest level for long periods of time is extremely difficult.
putter went cold, plain and simple..you cannot putt at 20% from 20' when average is 11%, you will come back to the average, and now he has...fun while it lasted? yeah, look at all the should have beens who can't putt and are history...Michelle Wi is biggest example
Great video.
Thank you! đđ»
There's no such thing as Texas University, it's The University of Texas
LOL. The narrator's accent was annoying besides.
Jordan is great around the greens. He will be back as soon as he figures out tee to green. Tee to green can be taught, but a magical feel around the greens is a talent few people have.
Leading today's tournament
So many golfers from Johnny Miller to Stewart Cink to David Duval fell off a cliff after winning the British Open. There is an emotional state of feeling complete after winning that great championship.
This video took so long to make đ give it a like for me? đ€·ââïž
Great video mate
Solid video. Liked and subscribed. Although I heard about Speith, I didnât know there was this much detail. I hope heâs just hibernating. I think it would make everybody happy to see him rise again.
Thanks a lot, I think heâll be back and do the grand slam
Thanks for the feedback Iâll take note in future videos đđ»
I liked the video, but it wasn't what I was looking for. It's mostly a, accomplishments and what made Jordan great rather than the title.
Texas University? How dare you, sir? Hook 'em, Jordan.
His power was in his hair, which is now gone.
@Aaron Aaronsonson WOW. Exactly.
His hair line is receding yes
Heâs back now big time !!!
I have this theory that the universe gives out gifts of super magical abilities in all areas of life. Sport, art, music etc. In order to get those gifts one has to have certain criteria. First they have to be born with the right DNA. Second, the right parents and environmental conditions. Third, the will to win, and finally, the right intentions. If one of these is not there then one can still achieve much, but greatness will elude them. Golf is the best example of how these magical gifts work because golf is so difficult that; when the player has this gift, it shines out so brightly and so clearly. The modern game has evolved to the point in which we know so much about the mechanics of the swing that anyone with talent can learn to play well if they work hard at it. There is also so much money in the sport that even the lower end players can earn a decent living. But for those who are the cream at the top, the only thing dividing them is two things; the will and the intention. If either of those things are wrong then the universe will take the magic away and hand it to another. If one believes that the universe is a moral universe then one's intentions has to fit morally. For example, if in your heart you want to win for the family, or because you simply love the game, or because you appreciate the fans, and so on, then the universe sees that you are not only wining for your own ego and glory. And so, the moment your ego creeps into your intention; in other words, you start to believe the hype that you are a God, then the universe will take away the gift. If your drive to win is only money, then that too is not strong enough a motivation, for as soon as you become a multi millionaire; then what? I am not saying this is what has happened to Spieth or others as I do not know, all I am saying is, I believe there is a reason that players lose the magic. It happened to all the greats. It's as though it just vanishes. Perhaps there is also limited time each can hold the gift. As I said, it's just a theory. Either way, golf is a unique example of this dynamic of "greatness."
A fellow manifester I see â€ïžđđ»
Great recap on Jordan. He'll be back though. He's got way to much talent!!!
Thanks Mitchell, I like watching Jordon play, and do be leave he will be back.
He's become preoccupied with swing mechanics - the mind killer. Thinking about the swing engages the left brain, whereas golf is a sport and a right brain activity. He needs to take a decent break. Find Jordan again. The dudes unstoppable when he's on. He's absolutely incredible. Good little doco, big ups.
#MakeSpiethGreatAgain
I can get behind that party
These videos make Tiger's 82 wins and 15 majors more and more inpressive.
i 'wanted to know what happened '... this was only mentioned v briefly at the end :(
What happened to him is the same thing that happens to many great players...he stopped playing golf and started thinking about his swing. It's not about making a swing but creating and making shots to get the ball in the hole.
When he was at his best he putted at a historic level, it was impossible to sustain his rate of success especially for someone who doesnât bomb the ball
right, although he had the most uncanny ability to hit the green from off the fairway of any player in recent memory. That combined with the putting vaulted him to heights that were Tiger like.
Nice vid
Thank you đ
I have heard people say that he does not work hard on his game. He does not practice a lot is what some say. Not sure of the validity of that but seems to make sense.
Jordan reminds me of Johnny Miller in the early 70s .He won a lot of tournaments like he was in a zone.
Boats đą and H*'s đ, obviously...
Let's not forget about the major choke at The Masters.
@Zoe TheCat He won another major after that choke.
But, but, but - he was the next Tiger!!
So they said..of course he was bc golf is desperate to find the next Tiger..what they fail to realize is that there will NEVER be another Tiger..he was a once in a lifetime player
He was never as good as everyone thought he was is the thing.. he is obviously a good player heâs just not âThe next best thingâ like they were trying to hype him up as
Holy Crap.. 10:30 Honestly sounds IDENTICAL to my swing. Crap this is better than a lesson. I'm stiff with my right arm and set up open and have to tume the ball. When I'm on I'm on and when I'm off I am a cooked Goose all day. I have to go to the range now.
Hey God gives you good times and times that are going to test you. You got to meditate and relax step back and go.
Do you think Ian Baker Finch is worth a look at for one of your 'What happened to' documentaries?
Yeah Iâve seen a lot of people say him, Iâll do some research thanks đđ»
Never recovered from #12, 2016 Masters.
Bad swing changes. Needs a new coach with some new ideas. He's a phenomenal player but he has an awful double miss off the tee. Even gives Phil a run for his money in that department. Hope he gets back to his best
Couple of thoughts. He made a ton of long putts and hole outs enroute to wins. That doesnât last forever. Secondly, he was always a little wild off the tee and in his effort to change his swing to increase distance, it seemed to hurt him at key times. Third, while success breeds more success, so does failure. And finally, getting married. Itâs got to be difficult to balance that. He always seemed like a guy who played a lot and got into a groove. Appears to have pared back that schedule and maybe that has affected his game.
Ever since the Phoenix open in 2021 has been playing well. Hopefully he can do good in the next few majors as he has been playing good recently minus the pga championship this past week.
Itâs about his confidence putting. Gone.
@@simonkennedy9759 Indeed. Golf screws with your head. As my (golfaholic) cousin once said ...âitâs all about confidenceâ. Trying to get it back via swing analysis is a very tough road.
Don't go chasing the perfect swing guys! We have seen it ruin so many. Imagine if Tiger didn't constantly tinker with his swing? He may have 25 majors right now. Spieth tried to get a little longer, a little more technical and it has cost him big. I'm sure he will find his way back but he has to ingrain completely new feels and that is never something you want to do in your prime. There is something to be said about playing with feel and athleticism, instead of trying to be perfect technically.
So, he breaks all manner of records and decides on "swing changes"? This choice has seemed to that of many in many fields (ruined voices in opera for instance). I wonder as well how "interesting" 10 hour practice days can be for anyone once "newly married". One might hope commitments had shifted a bit....especially when there's no need for a few more millions.
i said the same about Tiger when he changed his swing.
Harrington done it too after winning 3 majors in 18 months. He faded off into just another player after doing that. It beggars belief why they do it when at their peak.
30 under wow never knew that was possible. He may be in a slump now, but with #1 ranking under his belt he will come out of it and still be able to make another 50 million in half the time. Come on Jordan always loved to watch your game bring it.
Because of that Masters blow up and because he doesn't have that same caddy. I called it just watching how close they were and how much they talked and joked. It was the magical combination and it won't come back.
Wouldâve rather learned a little about âwhyâ heâs struggling, rather than having his results read to me off the PGA website. Jordan himself, has publicly stated that he was distracted off the course getting married, he made some bad changes with his swing which led to working with Butch Harman, and then his putter started struggling. In a press conference, he told the world he thinks he rode a 5 year hot streak with the putter, and finally he reverted to the mean. Now heâs lost his confidence on the greens as well, which is never a good place for a touring pro.
It all came from his swing though, I did state the changes he made in an interview, thereâs lots more I could of said your right but I wanted a short Doc more info the longer the video sorry, heâs putting game had so much pressure on it because his long game was poor
Love the feedback though mate, thank you, it helps me get better, itâs all noted and Iâll put it towards my other videos
You can tell he's in his head on his tee shots. He stands over the ball fidgeting for 20 seconds before he hits it most of the time. He needs a more repeatable setup.
The Masters Collapse think got in his head.
He needs a new putter I feel like. Lots of players are ex-ing the blades and moving to more forgiving putters
ikr? his mechanica look great, it might also be his confidence
Got faith heâll work hard and come back maybe a coach change or a little guidance from tiger if he would give him any
Its pretty simple what happened to him. Married 2018, first winless season 2018.
I think it can be summarized in 1 word: MARRIAGE
He left his game at the 12th at Augusta and has spent way too much time obsessing over his swing with coaches whoâve never won anything. I see heâs putting cross grip - that right there shows heâs a mental case
To succeed in a game like golf you need to be selfish with your time. If you don't put the hours in, you can never expect to beat another player who is. Once pro golfers these days get a few wins under their belt, they start to lose the hunger for 4am gym sessions... 5hrs a day range sessions, 2 hrs short game etc etc. Naturally, once marriage and kids comes along, priorities change if you have plenty of dosh in the bank, it's all too easy to hit that snooze button...
At 1:20 he calls it texas University! Well played! Gigâem!đ
I wanted him to be the next best player of our era and he still has the chance to do that in the next 10-15 years but it's going to take a LOT of work to get there. Seems he's on the track to success following his most recent win. Only time will tell.
I watched this hoping to get some answers to the title question
He's gonna win the Valero tomorrow
Letâs hope so
