Jordan Spieth found himself at the center of controversy during the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont. While paired with fellow champions Jon Rahm and Dustin Johnson, organizers failed to recognize Spieth’s 2015 win on signage.
Fans quickly spotted that only Rahm and Johnson had the “US Open Champion” logo beside their names. Spieth’s omission sparked outrage, with many viewing it as a glaring oversight that disrespected his past triumph at Chambers Bay.
Critics suggest favoritism may be at play, as both Rahm and Johnson now compete in LIV Golf, while Spieth remains loyal to the PGA Tour. This perceived bias fueled speculation and debate across social media.
Spieth addressed the media calmly, embracing Oakmont’s difficulty and expressing his desire to bounce back from past disappointments. Despite the snub, he remains focused on competing fiercely for a long-awaited major victory.
