Will Rickie Fowler's performance at Sanderson Farms Championship silence his critics once and for all?

Rickie Fowler‘s 2024 season hasn’t been great. With no top-10 finishes and numerous missed cuts, Fowler will be hoping to get back to winning ways as soon as possible. His dip in form has been evident, ending his 3-year winless drought at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic. However, with more than $50 million in career earnings since his debut in 2010, no one can question his talents. He is also one of the most loved PGA Tour pros for his interaction with the fans. He is now returning to the greens at the 2024 Sanderson Farms Championship.

You will not want to miss Fowler’s return to the PGA Tour after a long break. So, here’s how you can catch all the action live from your home.

Nick Dunlap has a lot riding on this event

Another interesting storyline to be followed is that of Alabama native Nick Dunlap. The young golfer is gunning for the Rookie of the Year title, also called the Arnold Palmer Award. Dunlap has already had an impressive 2 wins this year, winning at The American Express and the Barracuda Championship. At the American Express, he became the first amateur to win on Tour in more than 30 years. And with Tour Members voting for the winner, such a distinction will only get Dunlap closer to the trophy.

Dunlap faces stiff competition from Matthieu Pavon, who impressively finished T5 at this year’s US Open. Jake Knapp is also a fan favorite who is in contention, with his win at the Mexico Open. Knapp has had 3 top-10 finishes this year.
