JORDAN SPIETH: “I’M READY TO COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE”

It has been a busy few months for the 30-year-old PGA Tour superstar.

Before the Ryder Cup last September, his wife Annie gave birth to their second child Sophie.

A few months later he replaced Rory McIlroy on the PGA Tour’s policy board after the Northern Irishman quit in a huff.

Understandably, a large chunk of Spieth’s time has been spent on zoom calls and attending meetings trying to find a way solve the schism in men’s golf.

In the middle of all of this, Spieth has tried to add to his haul of 13 PGA Tour titles.

As far as Spieth is concerned, he is doing a good job of managing it all but he is ready for a more relaxed future.

“I think I’ve done a pretty good job in balancing everything,” Spieth told reporters after round one of the Valspar Championship.

“But it doesn’t mean that anything’s getting full attention. So that’s okay right now, it’s just a blip in time.

“Everything that I think I’m doing I think is doing the right thing. So I’m ready to come out the other side and take care of that and we’ll get there.”

Before Spieth arrived at Innisbrook Resort, he was in the Bahamas meeting LIV Golf’s chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan.

Al-Rumayyan is also the governor of the bottomless Saudi wealth fund that bankrolls the rival league.

It was the first time PGA Tour players had met with the powerful Saudi businessman.

Details of the meeting have been kept a closely guarded secret but the early indications appear to suggest the meeting was positive.
