Spieth Has Learned His Lesson On Global Check Cashing

With his trips to South Korea, China, Australia, the Bahamas, Hawaii, Abu Dhabi and Singapore complete, Jordan Spieth admitted to the AP that the pursuit of world branding and appearance fee grabbing days may be a thing of the past, even though "we" never finished worse than 7th.

From the unbylined AP report:

"It's been a wild schedule," he said. "And what I've learned is that I won't bounce back and forth from the States over here as often as I did. It's just tough."

Spieth won the Tournament of Champions in Hawaii in January and despite not always playing at his best as the effects of jet-lag took their toll, he finished no worse than seventh in any of the events he contested.

"I'm very pleased with how we performed with all of this travel," he said. "But there's a lot of people on the European tour and the Asian Tour who do this every single year, so for me to sit here and complain is tough."
