Jordan Spieth Drops Out of World’s Top 50 for the First Time in Over 3.5 Years
For the first time since March of 2021, Jordan Spieth has dropped out of the top 50 in the world.
The former world No. 1 and three-time major champion slipped to No. 51 in the latest tabulations of the Official World Golf Ranking, which were released on Monday.
Spieth, who spent 26 weeks at No. 1 in 2015 and 2016, was ranked in the top 10 in the world as recently as the week of April 16, 2023, after losing a playoff to Matt Fitzpatrick at the RBC Heritage. But he has been in a tailspin ever since. After recording a third at The Sentry, the season opener, and a T-6 at the WM Phoenix Open, Spieth notched only one more top 10 all season and finished 62nd in the FedEx Cup. His last of 13 career Tour titles dates back to the 2022 RBC Heritage.
Spieth underwent successful surgery on his left wrist in August and will be sidelined until at least the start of the year, he said.
