Jordan Spieth's performance at the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open

Jordan Spieth committed to the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, California, which began on January 26. Spieth was seeking to build on a solid start to 2022 at the Tournament of Champions.

Spieth was part of a star-studded grouping that included Bryson DeChambeau and Rickie Fowler. The trio teed off at 12:40 p.m. ET (9:40 a.m. local time) on Thursday for the opening round, which took place on Torrey Pines' North Course, with Spieth starting on the 10th tee.

Spieth had a strong track record at Torrey Pines, having made his pro debut at the Farmers Insurance Open in 2013. Although he had missed the cut in two of his three starts at the course, Spieth shot an impressive 71-63 in the first two rounds in 2014 while playing alongside Tiger Woods. He received the Rookie of the Year Award that week, with Woods accepting the Player of the Year honor. Spieth ultimately finished T19 after shooting back-to-back 75s following his impressive start.

Spieth had experienced a successful comeback in 2021, winning the Valero Texas Open to capture his 12th PGA Tour title and first since 2017. He also performed well in the majors that year. Heading into the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open, Spieth was considered a popular play, with odds of 40-1 to win the tournament.

Spieth's Farmers Insurance Open comeback in 2020

Jordan Spieth is set to make his comeback at the Farmers Insurance Open in 2020. The 26-year-old, three-time major champion and 11-time PGA Tour winner will seek to add this year's tournament championship to his list of accolades, which include the 2015 Masters, 2015 U.S. Open, and 2017 Open Championship. Spieth made his professional debut at the Farmers Insurance Open in 2013 but has not played the event since 2015, the year he won two majors and the FedExCup.

The Farmers Insurance Open will be held at Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla, California, from January 22-26, 2020. Spieth will be joining other top golfers, including Tiger Woods, Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose, and Xander Schauffele.

Spieth has had a challenging period since his last victory in 2017. He finished a career-worst 31st in the previous season's FedExCup and missed the TOUR Championship for the first time. He has also missed the cut in two of his three starts at Torrey Pines. However, Spieth is determined to regain his winning form and add another title to his impressive resume.

In the 2020 Farmers Insurance Open, Spieth battled health issues and missed the cut. Feeling ill, he went to the hospital the night before the second round due to a stomach bug. Despite his illness, Spieth decided to continue and shot a second-round 78, ending his Tour-best streak of 20 consecutive events without a missed cut.

Spieth's comeback at the 2020 Farmers Insurance Open may not have gone as planned due to his health issues, but he remains a highly accomplished and renowned golfer. He will be eager to put this setback behind him and focus on future tournaments, aiming to recapture the success he achieved earlier in his career.
