Jordan Spieth's exceptional 2015 PGA Tour season kicked off with a significant playoff victory at the Valspar Championship, marking his second career PGA Tour win. This triumph was the launchpad for an extraordinary year.
At just 21 years old, Spieth achieved a historic feat by becoming the youngest player to win the Masters and the U.S. Open in the same season, a milestone previously held by Tiger Woods. He consistently performed at the highest level, finishing in the top four in all major championships.
Spieth's ambition was evident as he targeted Rory McIlroy's world number one ranking. He eventually reached the pinnacle of golf, holding the top spot for 26 weeks across four separate spells, the last of which concluded in late March 2016.
