A great year just got even better for Jordan Spieth and his wife, Annie, who announced the birth of their first child together, a boy they named Sammy Spieth.
Spieth made the announcement with a post on Instagram on Thursday, saying the baby was born on November 14th.
“Sammy Spieth born 11/14 💙 Mama and baby doing great!” the new father wrote. “Feeling blessed!”
Spieth confirmed that he and Annie were expecting a baby back in September after the second round of the Tour Championship, and that the couple had decided to wait until the baby’s birth to find out the gender.
With 1 shot, Jordan Spieth proved to himself that he really is ‘back’
The new parents have a long relationship history: Jordan and Annie were high-school sweethearts and got engaged in 2017, then were married in 2018.
The birth is a fitting exclamation point on what has been a resurgent year for Spieth, who ended a four-year winless streak by claiming the Valero Texas Open in April.
Spieth posted a total of nine top-10s and 14 top-25 finishes last season, earning over $6.4 million, and went 1-2-1 at the Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits.
