The golf world has witnessed several talented players shift to the Saudi-funded league over the past year. With their lucrative money-driven offers, LIV Golf officials were able to lure out some of the top players from the PGA Tour. However, there were some who didn’t give up on their legacies for LIV’s hefty paychecks. And Rickie Fowler is a very prominent name among these few. 

Although the golf star has been away from the spotlight for quite some time now, fans are always eager to stay updated on everything related to him. And at the Charles Schwab Challenge last week, the golf star has gotten himself into a position that was long-awaited in his professional career.

What is Rickie Fowler’s huge achievement?

Fowler, 34, is one of the strongest pillars of the PGA Tour. Known for his unfiltered personality, the golfer has gained millions of fans throughout his career.  The former Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship winner has tons of records registered in his name. In fact, he was the top-ranked amateur golfer for 36 weeks! 

Having said that, his performances of late have not been as great as they used to be. Very recently, the dry spell spanning over five years since he last won the 2018 Waste Management Phoenix Open has come to an end, earning him over $4 million this season. His recent T6 finish at the Charles Schwab Challenge, where he pocketed $293,625, seems to have changed the game for him. Not to forget, the five-time PGA Tour winner also showcased an amazing skill set at the Wells Fargo Championship.
