Jordan Spieth - 13 things you should know about "the potential next Tiger Woods"

#8 He was always destined for greatness

The Spieth family name can be translated to “successful” or “speedy” in Middle High German (an ancient form of the German language). Jordan has certainly risen to great heights in golf quickly.

Steven Spieth, Jordan’s younger brother, didn’t miss out on the athletic genes. He plays basketball for Brown University.

This isn’t just some bench-warmer, either. In two years with the Bears, Steven has started 59 of 60 games, averaging 9.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.1 steals per contest. Early in his sophomore year, he dropped a career-high 21 against Illinois, a team that flirted with making the NCAA tournament.
