After withdrawing from the WM Phoenix Open in February before the second round due to illness, and then failing to qualify for the Masters Tournament in April, fan-favorite golfer Rickie Fowler has been away from the spotlight on multiple occasions over the past few months.
However, he’s set to compete this Thursday at the Truist Championship as he looks to find his rhythm and work his way back into contention as one of the sport’s top players.
In 2024, Fowler recorded just one top-10 finish—compared to eight during the 2022-23 season. While he’s still in search of his first major title, Fowler owns 10 professional wins and has had several memorable runs in major tournaments.
Now, with one of the biggest events of the year just around the corner—the PGA Championship from May 15 to May 18 at Quail Hollow Club in North Carolina—Fowler was officially announced on Tuesday as a participant.

Fans reacted with joy seeing Fowler’s name in the field:
“Whether or not he’s towards the top of the leaderboard or not, tournaments are more fun when Rickie’s in the field,” a fan said.
“I enjoy watching Fowler play but major entrants should have to earn their way in with their play- not their name,” another fan posted.
“YESSIR!! Love to see him get his first major,” someone else added.
One more fan commented, “Awesome.”
Fowler finished tied for 51st at the 2024 PGA Championship, but in previous years, he delivered stronger performances—finishing 23rd in 2022 and an impressive 8th place finish in 2021 during a strong four-day showing.
