Jordan Spieth, inspired by Scottie Scheffler, hits 'reset button' - ESPN

PGA Tour star Jordan Spieth isn't happy that he's not playing as well as his longtime friend Scottie Scheffler, but he's hoping to use the world No. 1 golfer's success as inspiration.

Spieth, a three-time major championship winner, said he used last week as a reset after a so-so start to the 2024 season. He has three top-10 finishes in 10 starts but had a disqualification and three missed cuts, including at The Players and Masters, in his past seven.

He is hoping to turn things around, starting at The CJ Cup Bryon Nelson, which tees off Thursday at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas.

«I think I kind of wanted to hit the reset button this last week and I took more days off than I usually do,» Spieth told reporters Wednesday. «Got a little burned out trying to find stuff. I wanted to take some time off, clear my mind, and then get back to it.

»… Kind of looking at this as kind of a restart. I haven't had the year I wanted to have after getting off to a pretty optimistic start in Hawaii. I feel really good about the work I put in since the weekend into the few days this week, so I believe that I'm really close to some great things."

It would be a good time for Spieth to turn his form around with the Wells Fargo Championship — a signature event — and the PGA Championship — at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky — coming up next on the schedule.

Spieth needs to win a PGA Championship to complete the career Grand Slam. His last victory in a major came at the 2017 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport, England.

«Sometimes that can be disguised right before it happens,» Spieth said of turning things around. «I'm believing that has been the case and need a couple confidence-building rounds or whatever
