Jordan Spieth was just 19 years old when he turned pro in 2012. Since then, he’s checked off preeeetty much every career accomplishment that a golfer could dream of, winning the Masters, the U.S. Open, and the British Open. (The PGA Championship still famously eludes him.) But as of late, Spieth’s fortunes have swung in the opposite direction—he finds himself in an unfamiliar position, ranked No. 51 in the world, his worst spot since his rookie campaign.
And yet, chatting with the eternally unflappable Spieth, you’d have no idea he was in the midst of perhaps the most difficult stretch of his career. “I’m healthy and probably stronger than I’ve ever felt,” he said at the Under Armour headquarters in Baltimore earlier this month, where he was revealing his newest signature golf shoe, the Spieth 4. “I feel rested and recovered and ready to go.”
