Jordan Spieth, the second-ranked player in the world, apparently became engaged to his girlfriend, Annie Verret, in the last few days.
A picture of the couple that made the rounds on social media on Christmas Eve showed Verret wearing a ring with a large stone on the ring finger of her left hand.
“A lot of young girls hearts breaking all over the world tonight. Congrats golden child,” fellow golfer Colt Knost said in a Twitter post.
Added Golf Central, the Golf Channel’s news program: “Congrats to the future Mrs. Annie Verret Spieth on her engagement to the Champion Golfer Of The Year. Not a bad way to spend Christmas Eve.”
There was no immediate confirmation from Spieth and Verret, who both are 24 years old, or Jay Danzi, Spieth’s agent, who did not respond to a request for comment from GOLF.com.
Verret, an event coordinator for The First Tee of Greater Dallas, is a graduate of Texas Tech University. The couple began dating as high school students in Dallas, where she attended Ursuline Academy and he went to Jesuit College Preparatory School.
Spieth is schedule to play next week in the Sentry Tournament of Champions, a tournament he won in 2016, at Kapalua Resort on Maui in Hawaii.
