Jordan Spieth & Annie Verret: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

The avid golf fan already knows who Jordan Spieth is.

But by now Jordan Spieth is a household name thanks to his absolutely dominating 2015 performance on the PGA Tour.

In April 2015, he cemented himself into Masters history with a wire-to-wire victory, which was his first major win.

Then a little over 2 months later, Spieth won the second major of the 2015 season — the U.S. Open.

Then he won the Tour Championship and finished the season with $22 million in prize money.

Did I mention he is only 22?

Cheering him on, as she usually does, is his longtime girlfriend Annie Verret. The two met in Texas as teenagers and have been together since.

Here’s what you need to know about Jordan and Annie:
