The PGA Tour is on the cusp of significant changes, and the implications for golfers are far-reaching. As the tour navigates its new landscape, questions arise about how these changes will impact golfers of varying levels of fame and success. Phil Landes, also known as “Big Randy” from the online golf brand No Laying Up’s YouTube channel, shared his thoughts on the matter, highlighting the potential advantages and disadvantages for golfers like Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, and Adam Scott.

According to Landes, popular golfers like Spieth and Fowler will likely receive numerous sponsor exemptions due to their ability to draw in crowds. This will give them a significant advantage in securing their spots on the tour. However, Landes noted that this will harm many other golfers who are not as well-known. Landes pointed to Adam Scott as an example of a golfer who was able to play his way back into the top 50 last season by taking advantage of exemptions into signature events. “You know, guys who are outside of that top 50 now, like Jordan Spieth and Ricky Fowler, and you know, I mentioned Justin Rose, like guys who are going to get a lot of exemptions. And probably going to follow, if they have any shred of their normal form, will probably follow that, like Adam Scott’s model, what he did this past year”, he said.

Landes acknowledged that Adam Scott had played well, but noted that he hadn’t started the season on a strong footing. Landes believes it’s reasonable to give popular golfers like Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth access to tournaments. “I do think that’s a good middle ground, where it’s like, yeah, give Ricky and Jordan and these guys who are going to put bu**s in the seats.” However, to keep their cards, they’ll need to earn their way back by competing in other tournaments.

Now, in order for Fowler to have an amazing 2025 season, the golfer will need to end this one on a good note and perhaps he is on the right path. Rickie Fowler Tracker also posted the latest information on the golfer’s status on X. According to the update, Rickie Fowler officially finished 101st in the FedExCup standings for the 2024 season and is currently ranked 70th in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR). His 2025 schedule is starting to take shape, with a confirmed appearance at the Grant Thornton Invitational in December and a possible invite to the Hero World Challenge next week.

Well, see the reason why people think Fowler is such a fan-magent is because of  the amazing foundation he has built in the golf world over the years. And that serves as one of the reason why golf legend Tiger Woods also wants him.

According to TGL CEO McCarley Rickie Fowler is a, ‘fan-favorite’

Back in 2023, the six-time PGA TOUR winner had an incredible year, with a win at the Rocket Mortgage Classic and top 10 finishes at several other tournaments. He was also excited to join the TGL team, saying “The more I learn about TGL, the more excited I am to be a part of it.”Fowler’s past experiences playing team golf, including four U.S. Ryder Cup teams and three U.S. Presidents Cup teams, made him a great fit for TGL.

TGL CEO McCarley was thrilled to have him on board, saying “Rickie has consistently been one of the most popular players on the PGA TOUR.  He is a fan-favorite with fans of all ages and walks of life.  We welcome him to TGL as Rickie’s dynamic personality and competitiveness will thrive in the TGL environment”. It was clear that Fowler was going to be a fantastic addition to the team! In 2025, Fowler is set to bring his infectious energy to the TGL stage. With his impressive track record and passion for innovation, he’s sure to be a fan favorite in the upcoming season.
