Jordan Spieth is the best player in the world, Gary player said.
But he has less interest in coaching.
“He was taught the wrong thing,” said the nine-time major champion.
“He just went downhill.”
Appearing in a video posted on the Golf Supply YouTube channel this week (you can watch it all here), players have been talking about the player’s bowing wrists at the defender, which bothered him. Once used, he said, “You’re gone.”
He said coaching is the problem.
“You know, golf lacks knowledge,” the player said in the video. “I want to say today in the United States that teaching golf professionals know less about golf. They’re less – they get all the equipment, technology.
“But I see them teaching golfers – they are teaching golfers to do that [bowed wrist] On top. ”
The player named other golfers – “The last time you heard about Dustin Johnson?” – but he focused on Spieth in the video. He said he was a competitor. He said he was “such an excellent person.” He praised his brief competition and course management.
He also wondered where Spieth would be if Ben Hogan was his coach.
“But, man, he just can’t hit the ball,” the player said in the video. “You know, this is a tragedy.”
When viewing the results, Spieth won 11 times in the PGA Tour of the 2013 John Deere Classic Championship, not again until the 2021 Valais Rotexas Open. This season, Spieth ranked in the top 25 in 19 games after undergoing surgery on his left wrist a year ago.
In the video, the player also named the player he believes is the least knowledgeable about golf swing.
Seve Ballesteros, five-time champion.
“I played Troon with him when I was young,” the player said in the video. “He wasn’t even 10 obstacles. He didn’t know what he was doing. He didn’t know. But he had the biggest feeling of any man who has lived. He was so good from 50 yards; he was as good as anyone who had. I don’t know who was who, but he was the best, but he was as good as anyone.
“If you don’t have knowledge, you’re limited. You’re very limited.”
