Annie Verret is an American nonprofit fundraiser from Coppell, Texas, and the wife of golfer Jordan Spieth. They married in November 2018. For 46 months before that she was on the payroll at two Dallas charities, and the first of them was a golf charity.
Most references to her online identify her only as Jordan Spieth’s wife. Her public profile is built almost entirely from tournament photographs and a handful of lines her husband has said in press conferences. Her own LinkedIn profile, still public, lists something different, with dates attached.

The Texas Tech years
Verret grew up in the Dallas suburbs and attended Ursuline Academy, the all girls school across town from Jesuit College Preparatory, where Spieth was a student. They started dating as teenagers and stayed together through college. He went to the University of Texas. She enrolled at Texas Tech in 2011 and studied management at the Rawls College of Business.
In April 2012 she joined the six person student executive board of Up ’til Dawn, a Texas Tech fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Her role was prizes chair, which meant soliciting corporate sponsorship, in kind donations and giveaways for the event. She held it for a year.
She was a serious student while doing it. She made the President’s Honor Roll with a 4.0 in four separate semesters, served as vice president of finance for her Tri Delta chapter, and represented the business school as a Rawls Ambassador.
The Dallas work started in the summer of 2013, with a human resources internship at the American Heart Association. Two more internships followed at The First Tee of Greater Dallas, a youth golf charity. During the second one, in the summer of 2014, she helped run a hundred hole golf marathon across eight local country clubs that raised more than $48,000.
She took a job in golf philanthropy three months before Spieth won the Masters
In January 2015, a month after finishing at Texas Tech, The First Tee of Greater Dallas hired Verret full time as an event coordinator. Spieth won the Masters that April and the U.S. Open in June.
The sequence matters. She was working in golf philanthropy on someone else’s payroll before her husband won his first major, in a job she had already interned for twice as a student.
By her own account of the role, the work involved leveraging sponsorships and grants, setting financial and participation targets for each event, writing fundraising and communications material, and organizing committees and volunteers around them. She stayed two and a half years.
In July 2017 she moved to The Birthday Party Project, a Dallas nonprofit that throws monthly birthday parties for children living in shelters and transitional housing. Her title there was director of development.
What the record shows after November 2018
Spieth proposed on Christmas Eve 2017. They married on November 24, 2018, at The Fairmont Hotel in Dallas. No photographs of the ceremony were released. Rickie Fowler and Zach Johnson were among the guests.
Her LinkedIn shows the Birthday Party Project role ending that same month, and nothing has been added since. She has not listed a public employer in the seven and a half years since the wedding.
What continued is documented elsewhere. According to the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation, Verret took on a formal role there in 2017, the same year she started at Birthday Party Project. The foundation had been running since 2014, started by Spieth with his parents, Chris and Shawn.
The four causes, and the one she added
The foundation funds four things:
- Junior golf
- Military families
- Support for children with special needs, which came out of the family’s experience with Spieth’s younger sister Ellie, who is autistic
- Pediatric cancer
The first three were there from the beginning. The fourth was added after Verret joined, and the foundation’s site credits her with pushing for it, connecting the decision to two friends from her childhood who went through cancer treatment.
In 2024 the foundation made the largest single gift in its history, $500,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for research into acute myeloid leukemia. The site credits that gift to Spieth and Verret jointly. St. Jude is the same hospital she had raised prize donations for as a Texas Tech undergraduate twelve years earlier.
What is documented, and what is not
Verret rarely speaks publicly. Her name appears far more often in photo captions than in quotations. Getty Images lists 150 pictures of her for licensing. Her Instagram account, @annie_spieth, is private, with 445 posts and fewer than a thousand followers.
Some of the details people look for are not verifiable. Several sites give her birth year as 1994, but none cite a source for it, and her Texas Tech enrollment began in 2011. Net worth figures published under her name are estimates of her husband’s career earnings with her name attached, and none trace back to anything she or a financial outlet has stated.
Where things stand in 2026
| Child | Date on record |
|---|---|
| Sammy | Born November 14, 2021 |
| Sophie | Born September 12, 2023 |
| Sully | Announced July 13, 2025 |
Spieth withdrew from the Travelers Championship in June 2025 with a wrist problem. Sully arrived the following month. Asked afterward at the Wyndham Championship how he was handling a newborn and an injury at once, Spieth told reporters:
“My wife’s a rock star.”
He had said something similar in 2021, crediting her patience through the nearly four year winless run that ended at the Valero Texas Open.
Verret was photographed at Augusta National on April 8, 2026, walking the sixth hole during the Par 3 Contest with Sophie beside her and Sully in her arms. Spieth played the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale in July, the course where he won his third major in 2017, and turned 33 on July 27.
The only organization that names Verret’s role now is the family foundation, which credits her with the largest gift it has ever made.
