On Thursday Jordan Spieth celebrates his 24th birthday, and the young man has already lived quite a life. In honor of his big day, here are 24 of his coolest accomplishments.
1. Let's start with the freshest, newest and most obvious: With his win last weekend at Birkdale, Spieth has checked off three legs of the career Grand Slam. Sorry, Tiger: Spieth and Jack are the only players to get that far before age 24.
2. Spieth has racked up 11 PGA Tour titles. That's more than many of his established elders, including Sergio Garcia (10), Jason Day (10), Bubba Watson (9), Justin Rose (7) and Henrik Stenson (5).
3. He's spent 26 weeks ranked as No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking. Spieth first seized the top spot in August 2015, and has enjoyed four separate stints with the crown.
4. He's the first player in history with three majors and at least 10 Tour wins before age 24.
With a win tomorrow, Jordan Spieth would become 1st player in golf history with 10 PGA Tour wins including 3 majors before age 24.

5. He won two U.S. Junior Amateurs (in 2009 and '11), joining Woods as the only players to win the title more than once. (Woods won three straight.)
6. In 2010, he became the sixth-youngest player in PGA Tour history to make a cut, when he played the Byron Nelson Championship on a sponsor's exemption and tied for 16th.
7. He has paired with Patrick Reed to form one of the most formidable American duos in recent U.S. Ryder Cup history...
8....and he was a key part of the winning U.S. team at Hazeltine that snapped the Yanks' eight-year drought.
