Wheaties cereal has been putting famous athletes on its boxes for decades. Jordan Spieth will be the latest to receive the honor.
Before playing in this week's AT&T Byron Nelson Classic near Dallas, Spieth revealed that he will be on new Wheaties boxes.

“You grow up seeing your favorite athletes on these boxes and used to walk down the aisle of the grocery store whenever my mom used to drag me along and always want to see who was on the cover,” Spieth said, via golfchannel.com. “To actually be on one is a pretty special dream come true.”
Ben Hogan, Babe Zaharias, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods are among the other golfers who have been featured on the limited-edition boxes.
Spieth has not finished in the top 10 since winning at Pebble Beach in February, but he will still be the hometown favorite this week.
