Jordan Spieth or Justin Thomas: Who has had a better career so far?

Jordan Spieth

Jordan Spieth won the 2015 Masters Championship

Jordan Spieth also has an NCAA title in Texas. In his professional career, Spieth has nine PGA Tour wins apart from three majors and one FedEx playoff event. Spieth is one Major short of a Grand Slam.

Spieth's three Majors have come at the Masters, the US Open Open (2015) and the Open Championship(2017). He has had 13 top-ten finishes in the Majors compared to Thomas' 3. Spieth has also finished runner-up in four of them.

Spieth has held the top position for 26 weeks compared to Thomas' 5. His Tour earnings are also more than Thomas with $52,791,175 so far.

However, unlike Justin, Spieth didn't win consistently and had a drought of titles between British Open(2017) to Valero Texas Open(2021).

Conclusion

While Spieth has had more glories at the Majors, he falls short in the total number of titles. However, Spieth has earned more money, stayed more at the top and has a more consistent record in the Majors.

Despite all these shortcomings, Thomas has been more consistent throughout with titles. One has had more glories at bigger events while the other has had more consistency throughout the years, it's all about perspective.
