Everyone needs a shoulder to lay down after a tiring day, and for Rickie Fowler, that shoulder belongs to his loving family. The PGA Tour golfer has been fortunate enough to find his perfect match in Allison Stokke, a former American pole vaulter turned fitness model. The two tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, back in 2019. As they embarked on their journey together, they were filled with excitement and anticipation for what the future held.

Fast forward to today, and Rickie and Allison are proud parents of two adorable daughters, Maya and Nellie. Maya, their firstborn, arrived in November 2021, and Nellie joined the family in August 2024. Being a father has brought about a significant change in Rickie’s mindset, and he’s now more focused on being efficient with his practice sessions so he can spend quality time with his loved ones. He’s often spoken about how fatherhood has given him a new perspective on life and golf, and it’s clear that his family is his top priority.

Rickie’s love for his family is evident in the way he gushes about them on social media. When Nellie was born, he took to Instagram to share the joyous news, writing, “My Family!! Right where I’m supposed to be. Welcome to the crew Nellie.” He even skipped the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina to be by Allison’s side for the birth of their second daughter.

It’s clear that family comes first for this devoted dad and golfer, and we can’t help but admire his commitment to his loved ones. He proved it all when he achieved one of his biggest milestones.

Family ties made Rickie Fowler’s PGA Tour victory even sweeter

In a heartwarming moment, Rickie Fowler celebrated his sixth PGA Tour win at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in 2023 with his loved ones by his side. As he lifted the trophy, Fowler was joined by his wife, Allison Stokke, and their adorable daughter, Maya, on the green at the Detroit Golf Club in Michigan. The special moment was a testament to the importance of family in Fowler’s life. “At the end of the day, getting to hold her, hang with Maya and my wife, yeah, winning’s great, but there’s a lot more to life than that,” Fowler said, beaming with pride.

Fowler’s win in July 2023 was the culmination of his hard work and perseverance, and he was grateful to have his loved ones by his side to share in the joy. After completing the final round with a 68, Fowler bested his opponents in a playoff hole, sinking a 12-foot birdie putt. As he held the winner’s trophy aloft, Fowler was surrounded by his biggest supporters – Allison and Maya. It was a moment that reminded everyone that, despite his success on the golf course, Fowler’s greatest treasures are his family.
