Winning a tournament is not just hard; it’s ‘really hard‘, and a long drought of victories is enough to teach you that. Speaking of which, Rickie Fowler’s 2024 so far has been consistently poor, until now. His last win on the tour came in 2023 when he won the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Ever since, it has been a downward ride. No wins, no top-10 finishes, and a rough 13-over score that left him at T71 in the British Open. But now he is back! 

The six-time PGA Tour winner is currently competing in the Zozo Championship, and much to fans’ surprise and delight, his performance has indeed improved. Alongside Justin Thomas in the third round, Fowler didn’t just play; he put on a show. With a 6-under 64 on Friday, he matched his season low from the Travelers Championship’s opening round and marked his 10th consecutive round in the 60s during the FedEx Cup Fall.

It’s safe to say Fowler is hitting his stride right when it counts and has been on a roll since he came back from his 2.5-month hiatus; he has been on a roll. Short downtime with his family, including his new-born daughter Nellie, seems to be working like a charm. In his last two starts, the 35-year-old finished T16 at the Sanderson Farms Championship and T23 at the Shriners Children’s Open. Now, in Japan, he’s aiming to revive his form and make his first top-10 finish of 2024.

Rickie Fowler returned to the greens this Fall with a bigger aim in mind. “For me being close in majors and then to having some — a few off years, getting back to playing a bit more how I did two seasons ago and just playing some good golf and put myself in position to win tournaments. You know, [it would] be nice to be able to have a major, if not multiple, on the resume by the time I’m done with this,” said the golfer a few days ago.

And what do you think fans would have reacted to Fowler’s stunning streak? As the PGA Tour posted his scores, fans online went wild, rooting for Fowler’s comeback.

Fans hailed Rickie Fowler following his upgraded performance

Here comes the Rickie Fowler true game and his fans cheering for their beloved golfer. And with his current sub-70 streak, hope is sparking for Fowler all over again. One user commented, “Let’s go Rickie!!!”, the other chimed in, saying, “Life is better when Rickie is playing well.” While fans cheered for Folwer with comments like “Slay the mules, Rickie,” and “Always pulling for Rickie.” Fans love Fowler. He is often regarded as the heartthrob of the golf world and is well-known in the community for his humbleness towards his fans. So, its only fair that fans are rooting for him.

While Folwer has buckled up in his game, a fan wished the same for Spieth, writing, “So glad that Ricky Fowler has his game back. I hope we can say the same for Jordan Spieth after his successful surgery recently.” Spieth was winless this season and finished the regular season at No.63 in the FedEx Cup standings. He only made it into the first playoff event at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis and finished tied for 68th. The reason for inconsistency? Well, for the unversed, Spieth was having trouble with his wrist this entire season. He has now undergone surgery in August, is now focused on rest and rehab, and is looking forward to returning to golf healthy and prepared for 2025.

Fans’ excitement doesn’t stop there, as another user noted, “Nice to see Rickie back on the leaderboard.” And indeed, he’s tied at No. 7, just behind top names like Pan Cheng-Tsung, Taylor Moore, Justin Thomas, and leaderboard leader Nicolas Echavarria after the Friday round. 

This season has been tougher—but with this momentum, fans are more hopeful than ever. One even made a bold call, writing, “He will win this week, you’ll see.” His 2025 PGA Tour card is secure, but we are sure Fowler now eagerly awaits getting back in the winner’s circle. We know we do! 

Once a top-five player in the world, Fowler was synonymous with flair and skill. Could he finally break the drought? Only time will tell. But what do you think—can Fowler claim victory this week? Let us know in the comments.
