Jordan Spieth welcomes baby Sophie in social media post

Congrats to the Spieths, who now can fill out their own foursome, and welcome, Jordan, to being a #GirlDad.

There was good reason why U.S. Ryder Cup member Jordan Spieth skipped Team USA’s scouting trip to Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome, Sept. 8-10. Spieth’s wife, Annie, was expecting the couple’s second child, and while trying to win the biennial match on European soil for the first time in 30 years is kind of a big deal to Spieth, no self-respecting father-to-be would want to be on the other side of the planet and risk missing the birth of their bundle of joy.

Good thing the three-time major winner didn’t make the trip otherwise he may have struggled getting back to Dallas, where he calls home, in time to be there to witness the birth of daughter Sophie on Sept. 12. (Sophie Spieth has a nice ring to it.)

She joins big brother Sammy, who was born on Nov. 14, 2021.

Jordan, 30, posted an announcement on social media that was short on details – no mention of weight or height – and included a photo of his daughter sucking on a pacifier in his arms. Congrats to the Spieths, who now can fill out their own foursome, and welcome, Jordan, to being a #GirlDad.

Meet the U.S. Ryder Cup team’s wives and families

On Ryder Cup week, get to know these PGA Tour players’ wives, girlfriends and families.

The stage is officially set as all the players and support staff are in Wisconsin with the 43rd Ryder Cup just a few days away.

Scottie Scheffler, eager to make his first appearance for the U.S. team in this week’s tournament at Whistling Straits, explained during Tuesday’s press conference how important spouses and partners can be.

“The wives and girlfriends are really involved, which I think is fun,” Scheffler said. “I think with everybody’s wives being there it’s very comfortable for everybody just to be in the team room hanging out, wives, girlfriends all getting to know each other as well as — I would say that’s probably better — the wives and girlfriends get to know each other because they don’t see each other on a daily basis, because we do.

“I’ve seen these 11 guys at the same events for the past two years, so I know all of them pretty well, but our wives don’t necessarily know each other.”

With the first tee shot fast approaching, here’s a look at the wives and families of the 2021 U.S. Ryder Cup team. (A significant other for Bryson DeChambeau was not included.)

Also, if you missed the European team’s wives and families, they’re listed here.
