Jordan Spieth is currently preparing for his 13th start at The Masters, where he now has his best chance of success in years.
Spieth is among the select few who know what it takes to emerge victorious at The Masters, having done so back in 2015.
In a stunning year for the American, he also won the US Open, finished second at the PGA Championship and T4 at The Open Championship.
But Spieth now turns his focus to Augusta National once more, where he may just be quietly confident of success for three key reasons.
Jordan Spieth has raised his level of late on the PGA Tour
Spieth may not be the player that he was over a decade ago, but the 32-year-old has shown plenty of signs of improvement.
He has made six of his seven cuts in the 2026 PGA Tour season, from which he has posted four top 25 finishes.
That includes T11 finishes at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the more recent Valspar Championship, with such consistency definitely something to build on for The Masters.
Jordan Spieth boasts a stunning record at Augusta National
While his 2026 form has been impressive, it does fall short of his history at Augusta National, which is truly remarkable.
Aged just 21, he saw off competition from the likes of Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose to secure the green jacket by four shots.
He claimed the title in wire-to-wire fashion, while Spieth has six top four finishes at The Masters, including two at T2 either side of his title.
Hugely impressively, one of those runner-up finishes arrived on his debut at Augusta, which is certainly not an easy accomplishment.
Many PGA Tour players haven’t had ideal preparation for The Masters
While Spieth would be wise to focus on his own game at The Masters, he does, of course, need to battle the rest of the field.
And it includes countless world-class golfers, from defending champion Rory McIlroy to world number one and two-time champion Scottie Scheffler.
But their preparation has been far from ideal, with the Northern Irishman having struggled, while the American missed the Houston Open amid the imminent arrival of his second child.
The two superstars should still be real threats at Augusta National, but their preparation for the major has been far from ideal, which should work in Spieth’s favor.
