Johnson Wagner is having real doubts about Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, ‘I’m just sad’

“No, I don’t. I think you’re spot on [that Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas have played their best golf already]. I’m just sad to hear you say it that way because I want Jordan Spieth to have a resurgent year and have a 2015-type season. But you’re probably right, it’s not going to happen,” he said.

“More likely is to have a Tiger Woods, 2018, where he has a couple of wins and picks off a major. JT, what does he have, 15 wins? And 14 of them happened in a pretty narrow window, so I think you’re probably right about that, unfortunately.”

The recent major records of Spieth and Thomas are extremely concerning

Spieth always used to guarantee entertainment. It did not matter if he was in contention or not, he would give the fans their money’s worth.

But it is alarming that he is no longer the box office attraction. Similarly, Thomas seems to be desperately searching for that magic formula.

The pair have won five major titles between them. However, it would be no surprise if neither won another of the four biggest events of the year.

In fact, both Spieth and Thomas have only managed one major top 10 since the start of the 2023 season. The last for either came at the 2024 PGA Championship.

It would be foolish to completely write off either player’s chances of winning another major. But, as Wagner suggests, it may be more of a swan song than the start of a full career revival.
