In September 2022, the couple announced a $500,000 donation to the Children’s Medical Center Plano. Spieth said in a statement on their foundation’s website, “Annie and I are very grateful to the incredible oncology staff at Children’s for their lifesaving work. We have a personal connection to pediatric cancer and to this hospital, specifically. And while we hope research continues to make this issue nonexistent in the future, for now our focus is on improving each family’s experience as much as possible.”
Annie Spieth added in a statement, “”Within each of our pillars, we want to focus on providing direct support to children and families who are facing challenges. Our goal with this gift is to provide thousands of families in North Texas who are facing a diagnosis closer access to the lifesaving care of Children’s Medical Center. If we can be a small part of expanding access to treatment and, in turn, give quality time back to these families, then we hopefully contribute toward their healing journey.”
5. Jordan & Annie Spieth Live in a $7.1 Million Home in Dallas
Jordan and Annie Spieth live in a $7.1 million mansion in the Preston Hollow section of Dallas, according to public records. Jordan Spieth bought the house from fellow pro golfer Hunter Mahan in 2016, according to The Dallas Morning News. Spieth said lived with roommates until after her and his wife were married, according to Golf Digest.
The 16,665-square-foot home includes a pool, basketball court, gym and golf simulator, according to the newspaper. The house is inside a gated community. It was originally listed for $9.5 million, but Spieth paid $7.1 million, according to property records. It also features five bedrooms, six full bathrooms and two half bathrooms, property records show.
In April 2022, Spieth credited his wife’s advice for helping him win the RBC Heritage tournament, which was his first victory on the PGA Tour since the Texas Open in 2021. Spieth told reporters, according to the Golf Channel, that after missing a putt during the third round, “I was about as upset after the round yesterday as I’ve ever been in a golf tournament.”
He said, “Annie told me last night, ‘You need to take 5 seconds now’ – and she never comments on my golf –
you need to take 5 seconds, if you miss a putt, before you hit your tap-in. So, I thought about it today. There were a couple times I was just going to rake it, and I was like, no, I’ve got to take 5 seconds.” He said seeing his son after the third round helped change his mood.
“That turned a lot around for me last night was just hanging out with him and this morning. Even this morning, I was kicking myself. I thought about it all night. Just like, just how am I going to get that back? It just takes your mind off of things and puts it where it should be, which is in the moment of hanging out,” he said. “I really, really enjoyed that. Had a great time spending the mornings with him, and we got our dog here, too. It was a blast.”
