PGA Tour pro blasts Jordan Spieth: 'Does that mean one more sponsor invite...?!'

PGA Tour pro Robert Garrigus has called out Jordan Spieth following news the circuit has added another signature event to its schedule in 2026.

Garrigus, 47, is a one-time winner on the PGA Tour having won the 2010 Children's Miracle Network Classic.

But he has made just four starts on the PGA Tour since 2023 as a result of injury and a lack of form. 

Garrigus is perhaps best known for having used marijuana for knee and back pain, which led to a suspension and a plea for marijuana exemptions in 2019.

As a result of not playing a great deal of golf these days, Garrigus looks on from the 3,031st rung of the Official World Golf Ranking ladder. 

But that hasn't stopped him from piping up and sounding out three-time major champion and former World No.1 Spieth, who continues to prove one of the most popular players on the PGA Tour.

Spieth received five invites into the signature events on the PGA Tour in 2025.

Rickie Fowler was another to benefit. 

According to a report from Golfweek, Garrigus has taken aim with the PGA Tour adding a ninth signature event to its schedule for 2026.

The 'Miami Championship' will be played in late April, replacing the Mexico Open which will be moved to later in the year.

"What's happening to our Tour," Garrigus reportedly said per Golfweek following an interview with PGA Tour pro James Hahn.

"So does that mean one more sponsor invite for Jordan Spieth?" added Garrigus. 

"Tell Spieth I’ll play him for any amount he wants. I win, I get his five invites to the signature events."

Hahn is equally not impressed by the latest update coming out of the PGA Tour, which is now led by its newly-appointed CEO Brian Rolapp. 

He's taken particular aim at seeing singles going out with a marker at a signature event. 

"They put some (crap) together and they wait for someone to call out their BS and change it the following year," said Hahn.

"They just put it together and work it out as the problems come."

"I called out (former COO) Andy Pazder in a meeting that sending out a single alone in a signature event was a bad look," he added.

"I said this before these signature events started. 

"Then I turn on the Arnold Palmer (Invitational) and Nick Dunlap is teeing off as a single (in a 69-man field). 

"Enough people complained about it that the next year they changed it. 

"Why couldn’t they listen from the very beginning? Because that one spot could’ve changed the trajectory of someone’s career.

"They’ve made so many mistakes at this point that it’s no surprise they’re still working out the kinks to the FedEx Cup."
