Rickie Fowler is unarguably one of the most popular golfers in the world. Not only is he popular because of his game, but fans adore him for his simplicity and genuine personality.
The fan-favorite star is getting ready for the Dell Technologies Match Play scheduled to take place this week. The PGA Tour released match picks for the tournament on their social media page on March 20.

Fans reacted to the list in the comments section of the post. One user wrote:
"Aww come on. Let’s be honest. Most people are going to have a hard time even picking 5 matches from group stage that they are really looking forward to. Reality check to the lack of personality left on PGAT now unfortunately. U know I’m right."
While some talked about Rickie Fowler, who paired up with Jon Rahm, Billy Horschell, and Keith Mitchell. People commented:
"Rickie gotta be the upset here"
"Poor Rickie ...he's been playing well, but... ouch!"
Yet someone mentioned Kevin Kisner, claiming he could be in the final four.
"Kisner with a golden path to final four."
A few golf enthusiasts believed that Rickie Fowler and Keith Mitchell could win the tournament and wrote:
"Rickie and Kieth will winn- Rory isnt up to it he is in Neverland!!"
Fans also mentioned that Dell Match Play won't be the same without Tiger Woods.
"Man these just don’t feel the same without Tiger in them."
It is important to note that the 15-time major champion will miss the event due to his leg injury. He is also more focused on preparing for the Masters scheduled to take place in April.
Fans expressed their displeasure with the PGA Tour for canceling Match Play the following year.
"Why on earth would you scrap this tournament next season?"
"So why you discontinuing it then after this year????"
The PGA Tour announced eight designated events for the best players and canceled the Dell Match Play to fill the schedule.
