Jordan Spieth has a very impressive golfing portfolio. He charmed his way through his amateur career with ease and won numerous events. And after turning pro in 2012, the Texas-born golfer has amassed a total of 19 tournament victories in a decade. Besides the PGA Tour, Spieth has played on the European Tour, and PGA Tour of Australasia and has also showcased his impressive golfing skills by winning there as well.
Spieth can proudly boast of winning three major championships while being in his 20s only. On the PGA Tour, he continues to win important events. But all of this is not a single-handed job. Besides family and friends, there is a constant person in Spieth’s life who has been with him through his good and bad days. When Spieth went through a long drought of no wins from 2017 to 2021, this person was by his side being his rock through his down phase. And this person is none other than his wife who is his childhood love and a long-time partner.

Spieth proposed to Verret in December 2017. It was a private affair and the couple didn’t share the news directly.

One year later, they got married in November 2018 which was also a very hushed and private ceremony. Spieth chooses to maintain a low-profile private life and so does his wife. After the marriage, Annie took Spieth’s last name. The couple went through their first pregnancy quietly maintaining the same privacy. It was only after his child was born that Spieth made the announcement on Instagram and also declared that they had named their son, Sammy.
