Jordan Spieth Announces Huge Multi-Year Partnership With American Company

As Jordan Spieth readies himself for the FedExCup playoffs, he is also all set for a new partnership. According to recent announcements, the three-time major winner is now a part of the FanDuel team, becoming the first PGA Tour professional to do so.
