"Spieth proved he is the man of the moment with back to back major victories and could dominate the game for years to come," the bookmakers said in a news release on Monday.
"William Hill now offer just 20-1 that he manages to win the grand slam in 2015 while he is 7-1 to win the Open at St Andrews."
