Golf fans are divided on the most prestigious golf tournament, but most agree that the Masters is probably the tournament with the greatest stake and the greatest significance in the sport.
However, there are those who disagree, and one of them is Jordan Spieth, who believes that The Open is the best tournament in the world.
The famous American golfer excelled at this tournament, and the most important moment was in 2017 when he lifted the Claret Jug at the Southport course. Spieth recalls that tournament with nostalgia, emphasizing that it was probably the most dramatic victory of his career.
In my opinion its the best golf tournament in the world and the fans are a huge reason for that, said Spieth, as quoted by Golf Magic.

Its obviously a special place for me. In some ways, its the most memorable victory Ive ever had. It was probably the most dramatic.
Great moments
Although many years have passed since then, the 32-year-old still remembers the great moments of that tournament precisely.
As a kid, he dreamed of such a trophy and experience, and when you reach the moment in your career to lift that trophy, it is clear that it is the fulfillment of a dream that carries strong emotion.
I remember many of the shots that I hit throughout the entire week, I remember the house I stayed in and I obviously remember walking onto the 18th green and being called Champion Golfer of the Year, he recalled.
To be able to walk around and really embrace what is the greatest 18th-hole display in all of golf, and receive golfs most incredible trophy, it was a dream come true for me.

This is one of the reasons why he is looking forward to 2026, when he will play again at Royal Birkdale from July 12 to 19.
Spieth is an important figure in the world of golf and will surely be one of the favorites in this tournament.
The question is whether Jordan will be able to lift the trophy again, given the competition that includes players like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and many others.
It is clear that an extremely difficult task awaits him, but the American golfer is known as a figure who likes such challenges.
