Watch: Jordan Spieth predicts Scottie Scheffler's chip-in eagle on live TV at the 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational

During the Arnold Palmer Invitational golf tournament, Jordan Spieth, wearing a microphone, guessed that Scottie Scheffler's ball might get really close to the hole on a par-5 12th hole.

Scheffler made a fantastic shot and got an eagle on the hole. As Scheffler reached the par-5 12th hole, Spieth said:

"I'd take a chance on this one scaring the hole."

Soon later, Scheffler made an incredible eagle on the hole. Smylie Kaufman praised Spieth on the mic for getting the prediction right.

He said:

"You're 1 for 1 in making predictions."

To which Spieth replied:

"I'm assuming that was live. I didn't hear anything in my ears, so that was fortunate."

The PGA Tour shared the video on its X (formerly Twitter) account with the caption:

"Scottie Scheffler chips in for eagle 🦅 @JordanSpieth on the call 🎙️"

The 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational got underway on Thursday, March 7, and will have its final fourth round on Sunday, March 10. The tournament featured a limited 69-player field and had a cutline after 36 holes.

However, only golfers who finished 53rd (ties included) and above qualified for the remaining two rounds. Spieth and Scheffler are still in the running and set to play this weekend as they met the cutline of over-par 3 on Friday, March 8.
