Okay, so, I’ve been digging into Rickie Fowler’s career lately, right? Specifically, I wanted to figure out if the guy’s ever snagged a major. It’s a simple question, but I ended up going down a bit of a rabbit hole.
First off, I started with the basics. I checked out his PGA Tour profile, you know, just to get a feel for his overall career. Turns out, he’s got five PGA Tour wins under his belt. Not too shabby! He also picked up a couple of wins on the European Tour. Okay, so the guy’s got some skills.
But then I got to the majors. This is where it gets a little less exciting. I combed through the records of all the big ones – the Masters, the US Open, the Open Championship, and the PGA Championship. I looked at every year he’s been a pro, which is since 2009, just to be thorough.
What did I find?
- No major wins. That’s the bottom line. Rickie Fowler hasn’t won a major.
- But, and this is a big but, he’s come close a few times. I saw a bunch of top-10 finishes, even a couple of runner-up spots. The guy’s been in the mix, just hasn’t been able to seal the deal in a major yet.
Next, I moved on to some other sources. I checked out some articles and even watched a bit of that Netflix show, “Full Swing,” where Fowler talks about his career. He mentions getting offers to join LIV Golf but says it wasn’t the right move for him. Interesting stuff. He also seems pretty open about not having the best run in 2024, no wins or top-10s this season. Also, his last PGA Tour win was way back in 2018 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, which I also made sure to verify.
So, after all this digging, what’s the conclusion? Rickie Fowler is a talented golfer, no doubt. He’s had a solid career with several wins, but that major championship has remained out of reach. It just hasn’t happened for him yet. Is he capable of winning one? Maybe. He’s definitely got the game, but as we all know, winning a major is a whole different beast. It takes more than just skill; it takes a bit of luck and maybe some magic, too. So, yeah, that’s my deep dive into Rickie Fowler’s major record. Hope you found it as interesting as I did!
