MEXICO CITY – Jordan Spieth's father, Shawn, will caddie for him at the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship at Club de Golf Chapultepec.
Michael Greller, Spieth’s regular caddie, flew home after the death of his father, John “Bear” Greller.
The story was first reported on the Golf Channel.
“Heavy heart for Michael and his family,” Christine Spieth, Jordan’s mother, wrote on Twitter. “Bear was a great father, husband, and grandfather. Heaven gained another angel!”
Shawn Spieth caddied for Jordan as he played nine holes at Club de Golf Chapultepec on Wednesday.
An 11-time PGA TOUR winner with two top-15 finishes in Mexico the last two years, Spieth is set to begin his first round at 12:51 p.m. ET Thursday with Russell Knox and Satoshi Kodaira.
