Six years ago, Jordan Spieth was a Texas kid with dreams of making it on the PGA Tour. Now, he's a three-time major champion.
Spieth is once again in contention at the Masters, the same tournament where he established himself as golf's next big thing in 2015.
Of course, Spieth has had plenty to smile about for the past half-decade, even before becoming one of his sports' biggest stars. Take a closer look at the 24-year-old's life of lag putts and luxury.
Sam Belden wrote a previous version of this story.
Spieth has 11 PGA Tour wins and three major titles. He's the youngest player ever to reach both milestones.
At 24, he's already earned more than $36 million in his PGA Tour career. That's more than several of his top contemporaries, including Rickie Fowler and Luke Donald.
Spieth jump-started his career with a hole-out to force sudden death at the 2013 John Deere Classic. He went on to win the event.
At 19, he was the youngest PGA Tour winner in more than 80 years.
Spieth has been endorsed by Under Armour from the beginning of his pro career, signing with them when he was 19. They later tore up his original deal and gave him a 10-year extension in 2015.
Spieth reached the game's elite level with his win at the 2015 Masters. Two months later, he took the US Open.
At the Masters, Spieth is willing to spend extra for any advantage he can get, and that includes renting two houses, with one just for sleeping and quiet time.
Spieth isn't just known for his big wins. He authored one of the worst Masters collapses in history in 2016, hitting a pair of balls into the water on the 12th hole.
