Rickie Fowler shares glimpses of his alliance with a billionaire sponsor

The orange golfer has been associated with TaylorMade, an American golf equipment brand, for about 4 years now. He joined the $2 billion brand in 2019 when he made the switch from Titleist. Fowler became a part of the TaylorMade family by signing a multiyear deal for endorsing the TP5x ball, and the brand’s gloves as well.

For 4 years, the partnership between the two has been going strong. Just recently, Fowler shared an advertisement video for the TP5x balls on his Instagram wherein he was announcing a giveaway. The 6X PGA Tour winner asked his fans if they wanted to win a dozen new Poker TP5 pix golf balls as part of his social media advertisement. 

What caught the eye of the video was the idea of the advertisement. It showed Fowler seated at a poker table with a poker face and echoing the notorious words, “I’m all in.”

Fowler’s video finds an unintentional association with Phil Mickelson

In his career spanning over 3 decades filled with accolades and wins, ‘Lefty’ has also gathered an image of a gambler. He has openly talked about enjoying gambling now and then in the past, but his world recently turned upside down when a few serious allegations were made against him in Billy Walters’ new book. 

Mickelson was accused of betting over a billion dollars in his infamous gambling extravaganza. It was also revealed that he tried to wager $400,000 on Team USA during the 2012 Ryder Cup when he was part of the team. 

The intention behind Fowler’s video was definitely not to mock the 53-year-old, but it did spark the conversation about the unintentional intent! What are your thoughts about it? Let us know in the comments below.
