Rickie Fowler, born on December 13, 1988, in Murrieta, California, is an American professional golfer known for his vibrant personality and distinctive style both on and off the course. He turned professional in 2009 after a successful amateur career, during which he achieved the world’s number one amateur ranking for 36 weeks in 2007 and 2008.
Throughout his career, Fowler has secured multiple PGA Tour victories, including wins at prestigious events like The Players Championship in 2015 and the Rocket Mortgage Classic in 2023.
However, in recent years, he has faced challenges in regaining his top form. At the 2025 Players Championship, Fowler struggled with a 10-over-par 82, reflecting his ongoing efforts to return to his previous competitive levels.
Beyond his professional endeavors, Fowler’s personal life has garnered attention. He married professional athlete Allison Stokke, and the couple has two children, Maya and Nellie.
Their relationship has been featured in media outlets, including the Netflix series “Full Swing,” which delves into the lives of top golfers and their partners.
Fowler also participates in innovative golf formats, such as the Tomorrow Golf League (TGL), an advanced indoor golfing venture co-founded by Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods. The league aims to bring a dynamic and fast-paced version of golf to a broader audience, featuring top professional golfers in a state-of-the-art simulator setting.
Despite recent challenges, Rickie Fowler remains a prominent figure in the golf world, balancing his professional pursuits with a fulfilling personal life.
