He is doing it way wrong IMHO. I would have a badass condo in New York, Chicago, Miami etc etc instead of a suburban mansion. What fun is that at 22?

Miami, maybe, but there's a reason you don't see too many elite pro golfers living north of the M-D line. Luke Donald and Jason Day are the exceptions. He needs to be in a place with quick, easy access to a top notch outdoor facility pretty much year round.

For Spieth, though, he's rich enough that he could really have both.

I currently live in Chicago and know NYC well enough to know that playing golf when you live in either is an absolute nightmare. The closest courses of any real caliber (and for a guy like Spieth, a top notch practice facility) are at least an hour drive.

if you think he isn't having fun. The guy travels probably 50-75% of the year for golf. I'd want a nice home base near my family and friends. Also he's now legit famous, it's not like he can just go winder into random bars all the time. Trust me, he's having plenty of fun.

Yea the guy that's making bank to travel the world and play golf AT 22/23 is doing it wrong because he doesn't want to be in a condo in NYC. I think he's doing it damn well personally.
