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.

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.
