Jordan Spieth, the three-time major champion, has expressed strong optimism that his peak form is close at hand, declaring that the consistency needed to reclaim his elite status is “right around the corner” as he navigates the early stages of the 2026 PGA TOUR season.
The 32-year-old Texan, speaking ahead of and during the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am—one of his favorite events—shared that after years hampered by a chronic left wrist injury culminating in surgery in August 2024, he now feels unencumbered physically. In interviews with outlets including Fox News Digital and PGATOUR.COM, Spieth emphasized that pain is gone, compensatory swing habits have been eliminated, and his mechanics are aligning closer to the precise, creative style that propelled him to world No. 1 and major victories in 2015 and 2017.
“I feel like that level of consistency is right around the corner again, and that’ll yield results,” Spieth said, highlighting how an offseason of focused work has rebuilt the foundation of his swing. He described his current swing as “solid” and “in a great spot,” with full range of motion restored and no lingering concerns about aggravation. The key now, he noted, is accumulating competitive rounds to sharpen face control, tightness, and adaptability to course variables like wind, sidehill lies, and tucked pins—elements that practice alone cannot fully replicate.
Spieth has been candid about the toll of the past decade, admitting he “hasn’t swung it well for the better part of 10 years.” With the wrist fully healed and no physical barriers remaining, he stressed there are “no more excuses.” This mindset shift follows a deliberate recovery: months without club contact post-surgery, gradual progression to full practice, and a pain-free return to competition starting at the Sony Open in Hawaii, where he posted a solid but unspectacular T24 finish. At Pebble Beach, early rounds showed encouraging signs, including low scores and improved ball-striking, reinforcing his belief in imminent breakthroughs.
The former 13-time PGA TOUR winner enters 2026 with renewed purpose, viewing it as potentially his first truly “clean” season in years. Analysts and fans alike see this as a pivotal window—healthy, motivated, and free from the excuses that once defined his inconsistencies. As Spieth builds momentum through the West Coast swing and beyond, his confidence signals that the old magic—marked by clutch putting, inventive short game, and fearless play—may soon resurface in contention for titles and majors once more. The corner appears closer than ever.
