3 Crazy Things That Happened to Rickie Fowler Since His Last PGA Tour Appearance 2 Months Ago
How Rickie Fowler’s 2024? For starters, he did not win, and only performed average in the tournaments. Fowler’s absence was widely noticed this year during the FedEx Cup Playoffs. His last appearance on the PGA Tour was during the British Open, where the golfer made a very poor score of 13 over and got pushed out of the top 70 at T71. He is now coming back to the greens again, having committed to the Sanderson Farms Championship, and from the time he was absent, there have been a few changes in his life.
A tough season for Rickie Fowler
Rickie Fowler, who is known for his vibrant personality, faced a disappointing 2024 season. The golfer’s ranking slipped to 102nd, which was a very significant shift from his impressive 2023 finish at 16th in the FedExCup. Fowler’s performance in Memphis for the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship showed that he was a changed player. In 2022, he barely made the cut as the 125th seed; however, last year he became a tournament winner and sat 9th overall in the FedExCup standings.
“It’s definitely nice to be in a different position than last year,” Fowler said of his performance. “We’re coming into this week with a little different outlook.” Fans found his struggles to be a surprise given his amazing win at the Rocket Mortgage Classic last year, where he made a brilliant score of 24 under par and secured the trophy in all his glory.
Fans’s expectations were crushed in the 2024 season, where the golfer hasn’t secured any top-10 finishes yet. But that may change as the golfer is confirmed to play at the 2024 Sanderson Farms Championship this week. Perhaps Fowler hasn’t had the best year in 2024; however, that doesn’t mean he was out of the limelight.

Woods also expressed his thoughts on the upcoming event and said, “It’s going to be a lot of fun.
