LITTLE LEGEND IN THE MAKING: Jordan Spieth’s Son SAMMY STEALS THE SHOW at Masters PAR 3 CONTEST
At Augusta National, where legends are born and history is written, one pint-sized prodigy captured the hearts of the crowd and the cameras during the annual Masters Par 3 Contest: Sammy Spieth, the young son of three-time major champion Jordan Spieth.
Dressed in a miniature version of his dad’s iconic green-and-white outfit, Sammy didn’t just walk the course—he owned it. With every swing, wave, and joyful sprint across the pristine Par 3 layout, the little Spieth made sure all eyes were on him, not just on his famous father. While the contest is known for being lighthearted and family-friendly, Sammy brought a level of charm, energy, and natural flair that even seasoned pros couldn’t ignore.
The crowd erupted in applause and laughter as Sammy confidently stepped onto the tee box, club in hand, and proceeded to hit one of the cleanest shots of the day—drawing roars from spectators and a wide grin from Jordan, who knelt down to give his son a high five. Though the ball didn’t find the hole, it didn’t matter. In that moment, Sammy had already won over Augusta.
Jordan Spieth, clearly both proud and amused, joked with reporters afterward. “I might be out of a job soon,” he laughed. “He’s got better tempo than I do.” The former Masters champion said the experience of having his son alongside him at such a historic venue was something he’ll never forget. “It’s these moments that remind me why we love this game. Sharing it with family—especially like this—is just unbelievable.”
The Masters Par 3 Contest, traditionally held the day before the main tournament begins, has become a favorite among fans for its relaxed atmosphere and the opportunity to see golf’s biggest names interact with their families. But rarely does a child steal the entire spotlight. Sammy, however, did just that—with every bounce in his step and giggle after a swing, he charmed the gallery and social media alike.
Clips of Sammy’s performance quickly went viral, with fans dubbing him “Little Legend” and predicting a future star in the making. Golf Channel commentators joined the fun, joking that “Team Spieth might need a new member on the roster permanently.”
While the elder Spieth gears up for another shot at the green jacket, it’s safe to say his biggest win this week may have already come in the form of priceless father-son memories and the unforgettable energy his son brought to Augusta.
As the sun set on a day filled with smiles, laughter, and pure joy, one thing became clear: in a tournament filled with champions, it was a little boy named Sammy Spieth who truly stole the show.
