This wasn't the first time Spieth posted about Junior Golf. He announced the news of joining the National Junior Tour 12 weeks ago. He wrote on Instagram:

“Junior golf shaped me, not just as a player but as a person. It taught me how to compete, how to handle adversity, and how far hard work can take you. It’s where I first fell in love with the game and that’s why I’m proud to team up with @thetourua to help open more doors for the next generation. Let’s get to work!”

Jordan Spieth won the US Junior Amateur twice in 2009 and 2011. In his professional career, Spieth won three majors, and those were the 2015 Masters Tournament, the 2015 US Open, and the 2017 Open Championship. At the PGA Tour, he won 13 times, and his last victory was at the 2022 RBC Heritage.
