Jordan Spieth and his longtime caddie, Michael Greller, share a strong bond both on and off the course. Before becoming Spieth’s right-hand man in 2011, Greller was a full-time math teacher in Seattle. Their partnership is well-known for the strategic discussions they have before each shot, with Greller offering valuable insights to guide Spieth’s game.
While Spieth recovers from wrist surgery, Greller took some time off and appeared on Golf.com’s *The Scoop*. During the interview, he candidly admitted to his love for sweets. When host Claire Rogers asked about his ice cream choice, Greller revealed that mint chocolate chip was his favorite, calling it his “go-to” treat.
Greller humorously admitted his fondness for desserts, acknowledging, “I’ve got a bit of a problem with the sweets.” His journey from a high school teacher to an elite caddie began in 2011 when he met Spieth during the U.S. Junior Amateur in Seattle. Expecting a slow rise, he took a year off from teaching, but Spieth’s rapid success secured Greller’s permanent role.
Their partnership flourished as Spieth won multiple titles, including two majors in 2015 and another in 2017. A crucial pep talk from Greller during the Open Championship that year helped Spieth regain confidence, ultimately leading him to victory. Their dynamic teamwork continues to be a key factor in Spieth’s career.
