Gary Player Names Jordan Spieth Best Golfer in World But With 'Tragedy'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Jordan Spieth's run this year has been anything but smooth. After finishing 38th at the FedEx St. Jude Championship and slipping to 54th in the FedEx Cup standings, the three-time major winner now finds himself outside the top 50 for the second consecutive year. His Ryder Cup hopes hang by a thread, sitting at No. 28 in the U.S. standings, with no more chances to prove himself after failing to advance. Amid this uncertainty, nine-time major winner Gary Player has stepped in with a bold and brutally honest assessment. Gary Player makes a bold claim about Jordan Spieth being the best golfer in the world.

(Image Collage | Collage: Getty Images) During his recent appearance on 'The Golf Supply's YouTube video, Player came clean about his thoughts while discussing swing mechanics and the state of modern coaching. The golf legend declared that Spieth is the best golfer in the world. But with a "tragedy." "Jordan Spieth, I think, is the best golfer in the world," Player told 'The Golf Supply'. "But in my opinion, he was taught the wrong thing. And he just went downhill." Player's critique centered on the swing fundamentals and what he sees as a widespread flaw in American golf instruction. "There is a tremendous lack of knowledge with golf," he stated in the video on YouTube. "I would say in America today the golf pros that are teaching know less about golf. They have all the equipment and the technology, but they are teaching golfers to do this at the top. But you can't -- once you do that, you are gone." He referenced legends like Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer to illustrate his point. "Jack won majors for 25 years. I won majors for 20 years. Palmer won for six years because he was shut. Look at Dustin Johnson. You haven't heard of him. When was the last time you heard of Dustin Johnson?" Player believes Spieth's swing mechanics, specifically his club position at the top, have limited his potential. "You've got to get the club and your hands under the club," the three-time Masters winner exclaimed as quoted. He went on to praise Spieth's competitive spirit and course management, calling him "a wonderful man" and "a wonderful guy for golf." "He's such a competitor, such a wonderful man. A wonderful guy for golf, the best short game, best course management but he just can't hit the ball. That is a tragedy." Player's comments come at a time when Scheffler is dominating the PGA Tour, having won three majors in the past 14 months and leading the Ryder Cup standings. Yet, for Player, raw talent and mental toughness still outweigh recent results. Spieth, meanwhile, remains optimistic. "Next year's going to be a really good year for me, I can feel it," he shared while talking to reporters during the Wyndham Championship. "One good offseason should get me nailed down to where I could be as good as I've been. That's my goal." 🚨👀⛳️ #NEW — Jordan Spieth predicts that he can get back to the top of his game in 2026. 'Next year's going to be a really good year for me.. I can feel it.' — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) July 30, 2025 Whether that comeback materializes remains to be seen. But if Gary Player's words carry weight, and they often do, Jordan Spieth's story is far from finished. It's just waiting for the right swing.

Scottie Scheffler Refuses Comment on Caddie's Situation: 'Family Is in Good Spirits'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Scottie Scheffler has been playing without his regular caddie, Ted Scott, since last Sunday, and his absence will extend at least through the entire BMW Championship. However, the reason for Scott's absence has remained private, and Scheffler isn't about to reveal what's behind it. In fact, the world No. 1 specifically declined to offer details on the matter when meeting with the press before his performance at the BMW Championship. A reporter asked him about the possibility of Scott returning for the Tour Championship, and Scheffler responded by asking them to drop that line of questioning. "I'm not going to answer anything like that," Scheffler told the reporters. "If that's why you came out here, you're not going to get much. I think Ted's where he needs to be right now, and I think caddieing is probably the last thing on his mind, as it should be. I've been able to talk to him a few times. The family is in good spirits. Everybody seems to be doing well. I'm not going to comment any further on anything going on with his family." Scottie Scheffler of United States and his caddie Ted Scott look on during a practice round prior to The 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club on July 16, 2025 in Portrush, Northern Ireland.

Getty Images/Pedro Salado Scheffler will have Mike Cromie, who regularly works with Chris Kirk, working with him in Maryland. The four-time major champion is apparently satisfied with the arrangement, all things considered. "It's been good, Mike's a great guy," he said. "He works really hard and does a good job. We're both learning a new golf course this week, so it's been fun. He'll ask some questions about things -- basically, he's just going to try to fill in as best he can this week." With Scott out, Cromie was an available option because Kirk finished 51st in the FedEx Cup rankings and failed to qualify for the BMW Championship. Naturally, Scheffler is in a very different situation, as he leads the rankings by a wide margin and is the favorite to win at Caves Valley Golf Club. If he does, it would be his fifth victory of the season and his first on the PGA Tour without Scott carrying his bag. It has not yet been reported whether Cromie will remain with Scheffler next week, should Scott be unable to resume his caddie duties for the TOUR Championship.

Scottie Scheffler Gives A+ Review of Keegan Bradley's Captaincy
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The PGA Tour is in Maryland to play the BMW Championship, but all fans already have one eye on the Ryder Cup, as it is only four weeks away. The work of both team captains has never been more under public scrutiny, a reality that becomes more palpable every day. Even world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has already had the opportunity to give his assessment of Keegan Bradley's work leading the American team. This happened during the press conference prior to the BMW Championship, and Scheffler described Bradley as passing the captaincy test in flying colors. "The intensity that he's brought as a captain -- I mean, he has definitely exceeded my expectations as far as a captain," Scheffler told the reporters. "He's done a great job. He's passionate about the Ryder Cup. He cares a lot about us as players. It's been a lot of fun kind of watching him develop in this role, and we're excited to get the Ryder Cup started." Keegan Bradley and Scottie Scheffler of the U.S. Team speak to the media following Thursday's Four-ball matches on day one of the 2024 Presidents Cup at The Royal Montreal Golf Club on September 26, 2024... Keegan Bradley and Scottie Scheffler of the U.S. Team speak to the media following Thursday's Four-ball matches on day one of the 2024 Presidents Cup at The Royal Montreal Golf Club on September 26, 2024 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. MoreOne of the most talked-about storylines right now is whether Bradley will take on the role of player-captain. Scheffler initially avoided weighing in, but ultimately left no doubt about which option he supports. "I guess you're going to have to ask the captain that question," he said. "I think, looking at our squad, I think we have a really good group of guys. I think Keegan can only help that. I think if it's something that Keegan wants to be part of the team and wants to play, I think he's a guy we'd all love to have on the team." The BMW Championship will mark the end of the eligibility period for the American Team. After the names of the six direct qualifiers are announced, Bradley will decide and announce the six free picks, a process that could take several additional days or weeks. Each team already has three players secured: Scheffler himself, J.J. Spaun, and Xander Schauffele for the Americans, and Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, and Tommy Fleetwood for the Europeans.
