Since his early days, he has been one of the most popular PGA Tour pros. With his flamboyant style and incredible talent, Rickie’s journey is nothing short of spectacular. He beat most pros while he was still playing college golf, but is also known as Mr. Runner-Up because he could never win a tournament. What makes his story so intriguing? Is it his relentless pursuit of that mythical major title that keeps us all on the edge of our seats? Or the fact that he often plays golf with Michael Jordan? Let’s start from the beginning.

He started playing golf competitively in high school, building his talents and dedication. Ricky Fowler’s early career was marked by incredible achievements. As a young golfer, he made a name for himself when he was just 18 years old. In 2007, he led his team to the state final after winning the SW League final with impressive rounds of 64 and 69. After high school, Ricky went to Oklahoma State University, which is why he always wears orange on Sundays to this day.

Playing collegiate golf in Oklahoma led him to be recognized by being named to the NCAA All-American First Team. Fowler’s success extended to international amateur events, as he qualified for the U.S. Open. He was one of three amateurs who made the cut and proceeded to the weekend. Eventually, he tied for 60th in the tournament, putting himself on the radar of the great golf pros. In 2009, he gave up his college eligibility and went full-time pro after spending 36 weeks as the number one ranked amateur golfer in the world.

Several top 10 and top 25 finishes he didn’t win a tournament though he rose to 32nd in the world rankings it’s quite striking that someone with such great performances in his first years as a pro still hasn’t won anything there seems to be a curse on Ricky people are starting

To talk and the pressure is only getting worse it’s like he’s always the bridesma and never the bride it wasn’t until May 2012 at the Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte that Fowler secured his first PGA Tour victory victory in a thrilling sudden death playoff against Rory mroy

And da points Ricky made a remarkable birdie putt to finally win his first trophy there’s a lot of people that have doubted or said you’ll never win so it’s nice to kind of shut them up a little bit Fowler said after the event unfortunately he continued to be a

Lucrative year with seven top 10 performances and three victories earning him a total of $5.7 million but since getting married Ricky Fowler’s personal life has seen several significant changes he signed a multi-year contract with tailor maid using their balls gloves additionally his long-term coach Butch Harmon retired public attention was drawn to Harmon’s

Comments about Fowler’s focus on the sport in an interview with Sky Sports Harmon mentioned a serious conversation with Fowler in which he questioned his dedication he bluntly asked Fowler to choose between being a celebrity or a professional golfer implying that Fowler’s Focus was wavering this Revelation led to the perception that

Fowler may not be as committed to golf as previously thought six-time major Champion Nick Faldo also chimed in with criticisms particularly on social media in response to Fowler’s absence from the Masters falo humorously suggested that Fowler could use the time to film more commercials hinting at a lack of focus

On the game he raised questions about Fowler’s motivations wondering whether Fowler was more interested in money than the sport itself Fowler’s multiple endorsements became a talking point he has deals with Cobra Puma Farmers Insurance Grant Thornton Taylor Made rocket mortgage and Mercedes and spends a lot of time on engagements with

Corporate clients this heavy involvement in endorsements led to jokes on the tour about Fowler having more sponsorships than wins after all those years of decent tournaments and lots of talk in the media Ricky emerged in June 2023 and finally put an end to all the criticisms and more importantly his 4-year winless

Streak Fowler began the final round at the rocket mortgage classic with promise not watching three birdies in the first seven holes however he soon fell into a monotonous rhythm of 10 consecutive pars from the eighth to the 17th hole death by a thousand pars almost happened again

For Ricky it led to a dwindling of his lead as the day progressed especially with Colin morawa making a strong push in the background nearly reaching 25 under Fowler’s brilliant approach shot on the 7-second hole set him up for a birdie tying him with morawa and hadwin

Despite an initial a t- shot in the playoff Fowler’s recovery was outstanding his approach shot landed 12T from the hole while morawa and hadwin faced their own challenges morawa missed a crucial approach and hadwin failed to sink a 22-ft putt this opened the way for Fowler to seize the win just as
