Jordan Alexander Spieth (; SPEETH), born July 27, 1993) is an American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour and a former world number one in the Official World Golf Ranking. Spieth has won three major championships. A two-time U.S. Junior Amateur champion, Spieth reached number one in the World Amateur Golf Ranking in 2012 and turned professional later that year. He won his first PGA Tour title in 2013, aged 19. Spieth recorded his first major win at the 2015 Masters Tournament, where he shot 18-under to tie the scoring record set by Tiger Woods in 1997. He then won the 2015 U.S. Open, becoming at age 21 the youngest U.S. Open champion since Bobby Jones in 1923. After finishing runner-up at the 2015 PGA Championship, Spieth reached number one in the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time. He followed with a win in the 2015 Tour Championship, which clinched the 2015 FedEx Cup.

Jordan Spieth is recorded among the figures by whom golf is remembered, and the surviving account of that career is the basis on which the reputation rests.

Golf is scored against the course rather than an opponent, so a champion's record is read in major championships won across changing conditions and equipment eras.
