‘Putting the Work In’ – Rickie Fowler Drops Positive Update About Tiger Woods’ Health Recovery

Rickie Fowler did not play well and achieved a T53 finish at last week’s Open Championship. However, the 32-year-old is now contrastingly in contention to win the 3M Open 2021 after a blistering first round. Furthermore, Fowler dropped a significant update on Tiger Woods recently. 

Rickie Fowler provides Tiger Woods health update

Fowler spoke with the media on Wednesday from Blaine, Minnesota, where he’s currently competing at the 3M Open 2021. The five-time PGA Tour winner was asked to provide some details about Tiger Woods, to which Fowler rendered a few lines of positivity. 

“I know he’s been getting after it as far as rehab goes—that takes up most of his day,” Fowler told the reporters. “I know as kind of stubborn as he is, being as big of a kind of golf nerd as all of us are, he’s putting the work in. … I know it’s been tough. It’s a long road till now, he’s got a long road ahead, but he’s putting the work in.”

Tiger Woods suffered a single-car crash late in February. The scary incident has pulled him out of competing since, and the 15-time Major winner will have to undergo serious rehab for a few more months to get back into good shape. 

Fowler has always looked upto Woods, and in this case, watching him battle past injuries at the age of 45 is sending out a strong message. Fowler himself has been through a form slump, but he looks to be in redemption mode at the 3M Open.

Rickie Fowler leads 3M Open after Round 1

It’s been a very long time since Rickie Fowler emerged as a PGA Tour event’s 18-hole leader. The 32-year-old played fantastic golf at TPC Twin Cities to cruise atop the 3M Open’s leaderboard after Round 1. 

Fowler shot a 7-under 64 and produced a bogey-free round on Thursday. He made seven birdies and 11 pars en route to his 64 and displayed 71.43% driving accuracy in Round 1. This is certainly a terrific start for the 32-year-old who’s been experiencing a form slump over the last few months. 

It might be too early, but can Rickie Fowler hold on to his game and gun for glory at the 3M Open 2021? All he needs is three more solid rounds of golf.
