Vacation Watch: When Will The World’s Best Golfers Return To Action?

Jordan Spieth

Unofficially one of the best ever world No. 5’s that I can remember, Spieth can help himself to separate from the logjam at the top by picking up some world ranking points at a comfortable spot.

The defending TOC champion is expected to be back at Kapalua in a month’s time, though he has stated as a whole he aims for a lighter 2017. He won’t be joining the cool kids in Abu Dhabi, and early on it could mean the ousting of one or more 2016 stops at Pebble Beach, Riviera or the Valspar.

Spieth, now 23, understands he won’t be young forever. Even if it means he can’t extend his tentacles everywhere, I think fans can stomach it if it means an overall uptick in his performance and wellbeing.
