Let us learn more about his life and Rickie Fowler’s journey from being the best amateur golfer to competing against the best as a professional.

Rickie Fowler’s early life

Rick Yukata Fowler was born in Murrieta, California, on December 13, 1988. His father, Rod, owns a trucking company and was a former competitive dirt bike rider who won the 1986 Baja 1000 racing for a Yamaha team. Before his freshman year, Rick suffered a dirt biking accident which resulted in a couple of broken bones in his foot. This forced him to give up serious dirt bike riding.

Rickie Fowler comes from an interesting line as his middle name, Yukata, is from his Japanese maternal grandfather. His maternal grandmother, on the other hand, is a Navajo Native American.

He attended Murrieta Valley High School. However, he spent the early years of his golfing career on a driving range and is almost entirely self-taught. In his senior year, he won the SW League Final and led Murrieta Valley High School’s golf team to the state final in 2007.

He later signed a deal with Cobra, which is part of Puma, and he continues his Cobra-Puma partnership to this day.

His first PGA Tour event of his professional career was the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospital for Children Open where he finished tied for seventh.

In June 2010, Fowler got his third PGA Tour runner-up finish at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio, where he entered the final round with the lead but failed to keep momentum as he fell to Justin Rose. Despite that, he entered the Top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking.

In September, he was chosen as a captain’s pick for the U.S. Ryder Cup Team. At 29 years and 9 months, Rickie Fowler became the youngest U.S. Ryder Cup player of all time.

At the end of the year, Rickie Fowler was named the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, beating out Rory Mcllroy. He became the youngest player since Tiger Woods in 1996 to win the award.

In October 2011, he notched his first professional victory at the OneAsia Tour’s Kolon Korea Open as he secured a six-shot victory over Rory Mcllroy. He then ended 2011 ranked 32 in the world.

At the start of the 2018 season, Rickie Fowler finished as a runner-up at the OHL Classic at Mayakoba, his 12^th tour runner-up finish. He became the 27^th golfer in PGA history to win $30,000,000 in Tour earnings.

Unfortunately, he then struggled to finish in the top 10 in multiple events, the last event being the 2020 Sentry Tournament of Champions where he finished fifth. During that time, he missed the cut for the 2020 PGA Championship, failed to qualify for the BMW Championship, finished T49th in the 2020 US Open, and finished the 2020 Masters Tournament T29th.

Fowler then missed the cut for the 2021 Players Championship and failed to qualify for the Masters, making it the first major event that he missed since the 2010 US Open.

At the 2021 PGA Championship, Rickie Fowler seemed to get back on track as he finished T8th in the tournament, his first top-10 finish in a year. In the 2022 season, he entered the final round of the CJ Cup @ Summit with a two-stroke lead. He ended up finishing T3rd.

While Fowler has had some recent struggles, 2023 was a resurgence.
