Jordan Spieth’s long-time caddie, Michael Greller, again clashed with the star at the Memorial Tournament after advising a safer shot following a poor drive. Spieth ignored the advice, took a risk, and pulled off a birdie.
Spieth, known for bold decisions, admitted that he rarely chips out and prefers risky plays. Even though Greller urged a more cautious approach, Spieth’s instincts prevailed on this occasion, proving that calculated defiance can sometimes pay off.
Their unique player-caddie dynamic has seen similar moments before, such as at the Scottish Open and the Masters, where tension and disagreement played out mid-round. Yet Greller’s expertise often proves crucial to Spieth’s success.
Despite disagreements, Greller values Spieth’s honesty and fearless nature. Their bond has led to 13 PGA Tour victories, including three majors, and Greller’s earnings now stand near \$10 million, highlighting the high stakes of their partnership.
