“I’ve got a bit of a problem with it”: Jordan Spieth’s right-hand man reveals his addiction to sweets

Michael Greller, long-time caddie to PGA Tour golfer Jordan Spieth, recently opened up about his love for sweets during an appearance on *The Scoop* by Golf.com. Greller, who has worked with Spieth since 2011, shared a light-hearted moment with host Claire Rogers when asked about his favorite ice cream. “We just went with the mint chocolate chip.

It’s kind of like my go-to,” he said, admitting with a laugh, “I’ve got a bit of a problem with sweets.” With Spieth recovering from wrist surgery, Greller has had a rare break from the course, providing a glimpse into his personal quirks that fans don’t often see.

Greller’s journey with Spieth has been as remarkable as it has been enduring. Originally a math teacher in Seattle, Greller first encountered Spieth while caddying part-time at his local club. He took a year off from teaching to support Spieth’s budding career, not anticipating the rapid success that followed.

The duo achieved early victories, with Spieth winning the John Deere Classic in his debut season. Their partnership has proven pivotal to Spieth’s success, notably during the 2017 Open Championship, when Greller’s words of encouragement helped Spieth recover his focus and secure a major title. Together, Spieth and Greller continue to share a bond that goes far beyond the green, built on trust, resilience, and a few shared treats along the way.
