Looking for His First Win in 3 Years, Rickie Fowler Breaks Silence on an Intriguing Detail Capturing Everyone’s Attention This Week

PGA Tour professional, Rickie Fowler, has been one of the few players who resisted the LIV Golf league. The American golfer held the first official rank worldwide for 36 weeks. And his skills on the field are well-known to all his fans. However, the golfer recently opened up about his blank driver shaft which was a mystery to many fans.

Rickie Fowler gave details about his unique driver shaft

Fowler recently made it to the news after making certain comments about the PGA Tour regarding handling LIV Golf matters. He also joined golf legend, Tiger Woods, recently during the BMW PGA Championship special meeting. And his decision to stick to the PGA Tour has helped him retain his fans for his loyalty to the former tour.

But one thing that has always been at the attention of Fowler’s fans is his black-on-black Mitsubishi Diamana driver shaft. And the golfer recently gave details about his driver shaft, which turned out not to be a “prototype”. A Twitter post by Jonathan Wall made fans aware of Fowler’s words about his driver shaft.

“It’s a [Diamana] Whiteboard that they used to make,” Fowler said. “I played the White Board in high school and in college, so they had some blanks still left that were never painted like normal.” 

It is common for players to use new prototype shafts on the PGA Tour. And therefore Fowler using an “unseen” shaft was not such a big surprise. The one that Fowler has been using is the Cobra King F9 driver with a Mitsubishi Diamana White Board 73X shaft. According to sources, the golfer used to play with the same model back in his college days.

Fowler called out the PGA Tour for the way they handled LIV Golf issues

Despite being nowhere in the top 100 players on the tour, Rickie Fowler’s opinions are still considered important by the officials. Although he has been completely against the LIV Golf league, he also spoke up against PGA Tour commissioner, Jay Monahan. Fans assumed that the PGA Tour pro will soon join the new Saudi-backed league. However, all those rumors faded when he accompanied Tiger Woods in his private jet to attend the BMW PGA Championship meeting.

Talking about the PGA Tour’s way of handling the LIV Golf issues, Fowler said, “I’ve told the Tour and Jay when I’ve met with them that I don’t think they have handled it very well at all,”. According to the golfer, the PGA Tour needed to be proactive since the day they saw the LIV Golf threat coming their way. And looking at the tour taking matters lightly since day one, Fowler’s statements are hard to argue with.
