Jordan Spieth isn’t a fan of betting in golf … but he probably should’ve checked out who his sponsors are before sounding off.
Spieth was talking ahead of this week’s John Deere Classic.
Spieth is sponsored by Fanduel. So his comments appear to be somewhat contradictory.
Here’s what the 3-time Major champion had to say and below is just one fan highlighting Spieth’s activity on Twitter.
“I think the one thing that I’ll point out is I do think that betting in golf is something that’s going to have to be tackled here soon, because I don’t know how much of, say, the Wyndham [Clark] scenario was the fact that it was enticing to bet the field versus Wyndham on Sunday in a legalized betting state,” said Spieth.
“And you could have had people out there that are essentially, you know, have $100 to $10,000, depending on who it is, on the field versus somebody else.
“In golf it’s tricky because you could actually impact the outcome if you wanted to. It may not last very long, but you could impact a shot if you wanted to,” Spieth tried to explain.
Jordan thinks gambling in golf is a problem that needs to be solved.
