‘Didn’t Earn My Way’: Jordan Spieth Backtracks On His Salty Take After Getting Snubbed at Arnie’s Place

Jordan Spieth‘s controversial statement about missing out on exemption caught a lot of heat a few days ago. Spieth confessed that “I’m bummed not to be [at Bay Hill] next week” during an interview prior to the tournament. He received a lot of heat for not trying to find a way in on merit. Fans questioned his eligibility to ask for an exemption after the horrid season he had in 2024.

Getting berated by the community seems to have made him face the reality. And he has retracted from his statement during THE PLAYERS Championship 2025 press conference. During the interview, he was asked, “You expressed how kind of bummed you were not to be out there last week. What did you do last week and how did not being out there last week maybe affect your mindset coming in this week?”

He shared what he did during the time away from the PGA Tour. While talking about the Arnold Palmer Invitational 2025, he also stated, “I didn’t earn my way into the event”.

This is a developing story…
