Overview

  • Spieth, speaking Monday at Aronimink, said the Grand Slam chase will not change his prep and he will start with a clear plan for the first hole.
  • He likened his stop‑start swing gains to smoking chicken that climbs to 155 degrees then stalls, saying the motion feels close.
  • Recent results include a T12 at the Masters and T18 at the Cadillac Championship, with no top‑10s this year and four years since his last PGA Tour win.
  • His season shows steadier play, with only one missed cut in 12 starts and an improvement in putting rank from 101st last year to 34th this season.
  • The PGA Championship is the only major he lacks for the career Grand Slam, achieved by just six modern players, after wins at the 2015 Masters and U.S. Open and the 2017 Open.
