As the 2025 PGA Championship nears, Brandel Chamblee has sparked debate by backing Jordan Spieth despite his uneven season. On *The Favorite Chamblee* podcast, he defended Spieth’s abilities, highlighting his past major wins and fan appeal.
Chamblee argued that Quail Hollow favors skilled scramblers like Spieth. Referencing players such as Justin Thomas and Rory McIlroy, he emphasized that even with erratic drives, success is possible through short-game prowess and consistency under pressure.
Despite not winning since 2022, Spieth remains statistically solid. He ranks 50th in scrambling and 33rd in sand saves this year. These metrics, Chamblee claims, signal potential for a breakthrough at the upcoming championship.
While critics remain skeptical, Spieth’s recent top-20 finishes show resilience. With a T4 finish at the WM Phoenix Open and fourth at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, his quest for a career grand slam still holds hope
