The best memory golf enthusiasts still hold off Rickie Fowler was his 2012 Wells Fargo Championship win. Where he catapulted as a rising star, after beating Rory McIlroy for the final hole playoff. The American has secured just five PGA Tour wins since that iconic moment. This year adds up to yet another winless season for Fowler so far.

Despite participating in 16 events, he has failed to secure a top-10 position, with only one top-20 finish at the RBC Heritage tournament. The last time he tasted victory was at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic. Now after missing the cut at the 2024 U.S. Open, how will things turn for the 35-year-old when he returns to the greens at TPC River Highlands, and what is he carrying in his bag to end his drought?

He first played with the driver at the Netflix Cup in November 2023.  It is priced at $599. The shaft fitted to it is a Project X Denali Black 70TX. It offers outstanding strength and increased energy transfer to the golfer. The toughness of the shaft allows for superior strength and stability, helping the golfer showcase better skills.

For his 3-wood the 35-year-old uses Cobra Aerojet LS fairway wood with a 14.5-degree loft. It is the lowest spinning fairway model from Cobra and provides more distance for players like Rickie.

Moving on to the irons, the 6 time PGA Tour winner’s iron choice starts from four, he relies on Cobra King Tour (4-PW) irons. The irons are fitted with KBS Tour C-Taper 125 S+ shafts. The Tour irons’ updated shape features a slightly shorter blade length than the previous KING Tour MIM Irons, which in turn provides improved control and workability for the golfer. The market value of the set is around $1,299. This is not all that he holds in his bag.

What wedges and putter does the American use?

Rickie Fowler uses a Cobra King Snakebit Wedge, with a 54, 56, and 58-degree loft, priced at $149. He pairs his wedges with KBS Tour 610 shafts. It features the most aggressive grooves to date designed by Cobra to maximize the spin for the professional. Moreover, its versatile notch design delivers a flexible shot-making around the greens.

It comes in three grind options, VERSATILE, CLASSIC, and WIDELOW. The “versatile” grind features toe, heel, and trailing edge relief, the “classic” grind features a progressive sole width from heel to toe, and the “widelow” grind features a wide sole with a reduced bounce. 

Rickie Fowler’s bag includes just one standout brand, the Odyssey Versa Jailbird with a SuperStroke Tour 3.0 grip. The trusty tool that broke his four-year winless streak in 2023. This putter has already delivered magic once, and Fowler is undoubtedly hoping it will cast its spell again at the Travelers Championship. Additionally, he uses the TaylorMade TP5x ball with a triangle Pix design on it, which adds clear path alignment to help him roll in the putts.
