Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another edition of the Sunday Sit Down podcast.

Today's guest is one of the best in golf, maybe the best in golf, Jordan Spieth, the 24-year-old phenom, went down to Dallas, to his home golf club.

I met the three-time major winner on his home turf.

We talked a little bit inside, Then we went out on the range.

It was in Dallas. It was about 173 degrees outside. So we stayed out there for a little while. I think I got three shots off with a pitching wedge. My third hit the target he was trying to hit. I felt good because I topped the first two. But that's a thing. you're standing over pitching wedge with Jordan Speath staring at you and analyzing your swing.

Really amazing story.

I mean, he truly a prodigy in every sense of the word.

He entered his first PGA professional golf tournament at 16 years old.

They gave him a sponsor exemption to get in.

He finished 16th in the tournament. Became a global star when he was 21 years old by They gave him a sponsor exemption to get in. He finished 16th in the tournament,

became a global star when he was 21 years old by winning the Masters. Remember the year before

he almost won it at 20 years old? And I have to say, spending the day with him, incredibly grounded,

incredibly family oriented. He's engaged to his high school sweetheart. He's got his family around

him. His brother, his younger brother played sweetheart. He's got his family around him.

His brother, his younger brother, played basketball at Brown University. His star there. He's the basketball star. Jordan's a golf star. And Ellie, his sister, who has special needs, continues

to be the inspiration for Jordan Spee. So we get in to all of that. We talk about Tiger Woods,

which I thought was really interesting, Jordan talking not only about the state of Tiger's game and whether or not Jordan thinks he can continue to win majors, but also changes in Tiger's life about the kind of guy he is on the tour now, about him being a better friend and socializing and hanging out with the guys in a way he never did, kind of getting out of his bubble. I should point out, as we sat down

for our interview, the claret jug, yes, the claret jug that is owned currently by Jordan Spee,

because he won the British Open last year, was right between us, which I thought was just like

a baller move. Yeah, let's sit down having an interview, and the whole time we're talking,

you're going to just stare at my claret jug.

He's now defending next week.
