Rickie Fowler has been cast with a winless drought. His last win on the PGA Tour came almost two years ago. The American player is currently ranked 122nd in the OWGR list, but he was once No. 4.
In 2023, he clinched the win at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Rickie Fowler finished tied with Adam Hadwin and Collin Morikawa at 24-under-par after 72 holes, forcing a playoff to decide the winner.
On the first extra hole, Fowler secured victory by making a birdie. Both Hadwin and Morikawa were unable to match his score on the playoff hole.
Fowler had entered the final round at 20-under and maintained his lead through most of the day. Collin Morikawa began the round four shots back but made a move with seven birdies in his first 14 holes, finishing with a final-round 64.

Rickie Fowler previously won The Players Championship in 2015 and had dropped to 185th in the Official World Golf Ranking before returning to form in 2023.
