Jordan Spieth's Complete Major Championship Victories

Jordan Spieth burst onto the golf scene as a prodigious talent from Dallas, Texas, and quickly established himself as one of the best major championship performers of his generation. His three major victories all came before the age of 24, placing him among the fastest starters in major championship history.

  • 2015 Masters – Augusta National, Georgia (−18, 270) — Won by 4 strokes
  • 2015 US Open – Chambers Bay, Washington (−5, 275) — Won by 1 stroke over Dustin Johnson and Louis Oosthuizen
  • 2017 Open Championship – Royal Birkdale, England (−12, 268) — Won by 3 strokes over Matt Kuchar

The 2015 Masters: A Historic Wire-to-Wire Victory

Spieth's first major victory was nothing short of spectacular. At just 21 years old, he led from start to finish at Augusta National, tying Tiger Woods's tournament scoring record of 18-under-par 270. Spieth opened with rounds of 64-66 to build a commanding lead and never looked back, winning by four strokes over Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose. He became the second-youngest Masters champion behind Tiger Woods and the first wire-to-wire winner at Augusta since Raymond Floyd in 1976. His ball-striking and putting that week were both exceptional, and his composure under pressure belied his young age.

The 2015 US Open: Two Down in One Year

Just two months after his Masters triumph, Spieth captured the US Open at Chambers Bay — a controversial links-style course in Washington State. The victory made him the youngest player since Bobby Jones in 1926 to win both the Masters and US Open in the same year. Spieth showed remarkable grit, surviving a grueling week on bumpy poa annua greens that frustrated much of the field. His closing birdie on the 72nd hole sealed a one-shot victory and sparked talk of a potential calendar-year Grand Slam at just 21 years old.

The 2016 Masters Collapse

Before discussing Spieth's third major win, it's impossible to ignore the devastating setback that came between his second and third victories. At the 2016 Masters, Spieth held a five-shot lead with nine holes to play on Sunday and appeared destined for back-to-back green jackets. Then came the 12th hole — Augusta's famous par-3 over Rae's Creek — where Spieth hit two balls into the water and made a quadruple-bogey seven. He ultimately finished three shots behind winner Danny Willett. The collapse was heartbreaking, but it also revealed Spieth's character: he handled the aftermath with grace and used it as motivation.

The 2017 Open Championship: Redemption at Royal Birkdale

Spieth's third major victory came at the 2017 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, and it featured one of the most remarkable back-nine performances in major history. Trailing Matt Kuchar by one shot at the turn on Sunday, Spieth appeared to be in serious trouble when his tee shot on the 13th hole went wildly right onto a practice range. What followed was extraordinary: Spieth took a penalty drop, hit a brilliant recovery shot, and made bogey when it could have been much worse. He then birdied five of the final six holes — including a stunning run starting at the 14th — to pull away for a three-shot victory. The Claret Jug was his, and at 23, he had won three of the four majors.

The Quest for the Career Grand Slam

With victories at the Masters, US Open, and The Open Championship, Spieth needs only the PGA Championship to complete the career Grand Slam — a feat accomplished by only five players in history: Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods. His best PGA Championship finishes have been a pair of top-10 results, but the elusive fourth leg has proven difficult. At still a relatively young age, Spieth has time to join that exclusive club, and his track record of performing on golf's biggest stages suggests it's a matter of when, not if.
