Cobra Puma’s Reason Behind Backing a Struggling Rickie Fowler for 15 Years Surfaces: ‘Sold Out Instantly’
Has Rickie Fowler won over Puma once again? The 36-year-old has been trending the all-orange outfit for as long as he has been a professional golfer. Fans always loved watching Fowler play in his trademark attire in the final rounds of events. The Murrieta local’s orange ensemble had become a norm in the world of golf. This had earned him a lucrative deal from Cobra/Puma to sponsor his apparel through most of his career.
It’s been 15 years since that deal had first begun and Puma recently confirmed that they will be continuing to sponsor Rickie Fowler. This may have come as a surprise to some considering his bad run of form recently. But the brand still showed faith in Fowler as per the post shared by @NUCLRGOLF on their X account. With an image of a young Fowler in his trademark orange get-up, the caption read, “⛳️ SIGNED — Rickie Fowler & COBRA / PUMA have agreed to terms on a long term contract extension that will see him continue to play the brands equipment and apparel for many years to come. @RickieLegion”
This takes us back to an article published by GolfWRX in 2013. They stated the kind of impact Rickie Fowler had on the golf community. It mentioned how “The company issued 500 limited edition orange shoes in honor of Fowler’s Sunday all-orange attire, and they sold out instantly.” This suggests that Rickie Fowler‘s association with Cobra/Puma has always been a lucrative deal for both parties.

Quite Tiger Woods-esque for the Fowler-Cobra/Puma collaboration. Even the GOAT’s iconic Sunday red outfit had also made such a statement. Watching the popularity of a professional golfer transcend through to fashion shows how loved golf is around the world.
