During a press conference at the prestigious event, when asked about his biggest supporters “outside” of his family, Fowler acknowledged the PGA Tour family as his extended support network.

Fowler expressed his appreciation for the trio, stating, “Yeah, it’s awesome when you have guys that do the same thing day-in and day-out because they’re the ones that truly understand how it is.” Their unwavering support and ability to relate to one another form the foundation of their strong bond, which fuels Fowler’s mental strength on and off the course.
