Jordan Spieth is now the proud father of three! The professional golfer and his wife, Annie Verret, announced on Instagram the arrival of their third child, a son named Sully Spieth.
“We added a new member to the foursome—Sully Spieth! Everyone is doing great,” Spieth writes as the caption of the Instagram post.
The cute post features a precious shot of baby Sully sleeping, wearing a onesie with trucks on it. Spieth’s hand is lovingly resting on his son, while more little hands reach out to touch the newborn—those are Sully’s older siblings, Sophie, 22 months, and Sammy, 3.

Spieth first announced the happy news of a third child on the way during his appearance on The Smylie Show in February 2025. When asked how he spent his off-season, Spieth responded, “We have a third coming in July, so it’s busy.”
The 31-year-old, who is a 13-time PGA Tour winner, met his wife in high school. They got engaged in the winter of 2017, and were married a year later, on November 24, 2018, in Dallas.
