News of Verret's pregnancy first made the rounds in early September when she accompanied her husband at the Tour Championship at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

Although the couple didn't make a public announcement about her pregnancy, Spieth revealed, according to PGATour.com, that he just expected people to notice eventually, as her baby bump was "something you can't hide now that we are close."

"We weren't like hiding it or anything like that, it was just more private life," Spieth explained to GolfChannel.com. "Yeah, very excited. She feels great, that's the No. 1 priority and everything's going smoothly."

"My faith and then my family, and then after that, you know, this is what I love to do," Spieth said. "[Golf is] not No. 1 in my life. And I'll have a family of my own someday and that will be — golf will be fourth. So as of now, you know, my relationships I have with my best friends and my family and my girlfriend are second and golf's third."
