Rickie Fowler’s career has been a rollercoaster ride. He’s seen it all, from being called overrated to winning The Players Championship to being within a few shots at multiple majors to a nearly 4-year winless drought.
He remained true to the swing that brought him to the top of the game, the laid-off backswing that every golf fan can recognize in seconds.
This move might be over.
This week’s viral video showed Fowler swinging, which looks like he has been hard at work. Fowler isn’t just flat at the top but perfectly balanced. It’s a strange sight to see Fowler perform such a classic move.
