Jordan Spieth

With the three-time major winner on the range at the Hero for an episode of GOLF.com's "Warming Up"

Dylan Dethier: Have you always had the same pre-round routine?

Jordan Spieth: I actually learned mine from when I played some Tour events when I was in high school. It was quite simply: What do these guys do before they play? Because I didn't go to the gym when I was 16, I didn't warm up, I just hit whatever I wanted to. So it was just watching guys deliberately have intention even in their warm-ups versus just kind of getting loose. I work my way up the bag and then there's some shots that you might need on certain holes out there, like I'll know the yardage on the par 3s and make sure I hit those clubs. Y'know how your second ball is amazing? I just try to make sure that my second ball is the one I hit out on the course on that par 3.

DD: You've been recovering from a wrist injury. As you're working on your swing, are you chasing any former version of your golf swing or are you just tackling what's in front of you at the moment?

JS: So, we call those our templates. I have templates from different time periods, and it’s a really good question because it goes into a lot of what I’ve done the last few months. I don’t want to step into an exact swing I made seven years ago, because my body’s changed. I can do some things better now that I couldn’t do then, and I could do a lot of things that were really good then. That was probably my best ball-striking year: 2017. I had good striking in 2013, '14, '15 as well. What I’m trying to do is gather, like, What is my DNA? What do I do in my swing that is consistent throughout all these good time periods? Whether the shaft is pitched in a different place or the depth of my hands is a little bit different here or there, what is a similar movement that I haven't been doing that I want to get back to? And that’s what this offseason was about.
