Jordan Spieth and wife Annie celebrate the arrival of baby Sophie with heartwarming post
Just days before playing in the Ryder Cup, Jordan Spieth has welcomed his second child — a baby girl — with his wife Annie Verret. The couple decided to celebrate the arrival of the baby via a heartwarming post on Instagram.
Although the announcement by Spieth didn't have a lot of words, the picture of the daughter was enough to get fans swooning. His daughter could be seen holding her father's finger.
The Instagram post has quickly gone viral, and has over 90,000 likes at the time of writing. The picture had a short caption, 'Welcome Sophie,' where Jordan Spieth announced his daughter's name and the date she was born — '9/12/2023'.
Spieth wasn't present with Team USA when they went on a scouting trip to Marco Simone in Rome. It is believed that the American golfer was by Annie's side at that time.
The 3-time Major winner wouldn't have been able to make the trip back home if he had accompanied his team. However, Spieth will be present when the USA take the fight to face Team Europe at the Ryder Cup.
Jordan Spieth's record at the Ryder Cup
Although Jordan Spieth has played in four Ryder Cups so far, his performance in the competition has been questionable. The PGA Tour golfer has won two editions of the tournament — in 2016 and 2021. However, he hasn't been able to win a singles match in all four editions he's played.
Spieth has played 18 matches in the Ryder Cup, in which his record is 8-7-3. However, his performance in the foursomes event is completely different. Spieth's partnership with Justin Thomas created headlines when they defeated Viktor Hovland and Bernd Wiesberger in the final round in 2021.
Jordan Spieth will be hoping to get back to his usual self after being blessed with a baby daughter. The 30-year-old hasn't played up to his standards this season and has had massive pressure thrust upon him. However, captain Zach Johnson has put his faith in Spieth's ability and will look to use him effectively in the tournament.
