As Rickie Fowler takes the ground at the Zozo Championship, the player has made quite some news regarding his putts. This PGA Tour season has seen Fowler’s resurgence, and speculations say it’s all because of a new certain someone in his life: his putter, the Odyssey Versa Jailbird.

A putter that has changed the game for the golfer has become a new sensation in the golf world as, after Fowler’s adoption of the gear, fellow golfer Wyndham Clark also took to it and even won the U.S. Open with the same model. Now, as the putter makes some more heads turn, a new confession by Rickie Fowler’s caddie about how the golfer gained the equipment has stirred the waves. 

What is the origin story of Rickie Fowler’s game-changing putter?

On GOLF’s Subpar, in a recent interview with Ricky Romano, Rickie Fowler’s caddie, some new info related to the infamous putter was dropped. Romano seems to have played a pivotal role in this story as the wingman who introduced Fowler to the love of his life on the greens.

Romano disclosed that he familiarized Rickie Fowler with the putter during a casual round at the Madison Club, where Fowler instantly fell in love with its performance. The golfers were playing on the greens that day when Fowler grabbed Romano’s putter and asked if he could use it. The caddie confessed that while playing, the American pro made a comment about the equipment, saying, “This putter is like cheating.”

Romano knew that the PGA Tour star had been looking for a new putter as during the gameplay on the greens in the past year, the caddie had seen the golfer with multiple different putters, meaning that he hadn’t met his favorite pick yet. After the game that day, Romano said in the interview that Fowler was so impressed by the effectiveness of the gear that he had asked him if he could keep the putter so Odyssey could create a replica of it. As expected, the caddie had agreed. And in his latest confession, he added, “I told him, of course, he could take it, and if they couldn’t make a replica, he could just have mine. As long as he’s making putts, I am good with it.”

Now, as we all are well familiar with what putter Fowler uses, here’s a quick glimpse at all the other pieces of equipment that are there in the golfer’s 2023 kit.

In his golfing bag, the PGA TOUR golfer carries a $549 driver: Cobra Aerojet LS (9 degrees), with a Mitsubishi Diamana prototype 70 X shaft. As far as his fairway woods are concerned, the golfer has opted for Cobra Aerojet LS (13.5 degrees), with Aldila Tour Green Graphene TX shaft and Cobra King LTDx LS (17.5 degrees), with UST Mamiya LINQ White 8 shaft.

Irons play a major role in the greens, so investing in one that gives glamorous results is nothing short of genius. This year, the golfer has a Cobra King Forged Tour (4-PW) with KBS Tour C-Taper 125 S+ shafts in his kit. 

For the wedges, Fowler has opted for Cobra King MIM (54, 56, 58 degrees), and his ball for a smooth long short is TaylorMade TP5.
