The Bay Hill Golf Course is witnessing action at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Jon Rahm is currently on the top of the leaderboard, but someone else is stealing the thunder. The top-ranked amateur golfer for 36 weeks in 2007 and 2008 is the new talk of the town. The PGA Tour pro-Rickie Fowler has now become everyone’s favorite after his iconic gesture. His actions at the AP Invitational have become headlines, and fans send bundles of love his way. What did he do? And why do fans love him?

The official Instagram handle of the PGA Tour has posted pictures of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship winner. Fowler was spotted paying homage to the legacy of the late Arnold Palmer. His equipment bag, cap, and even his clothes had the iconic umbrella logo. The colorful umbrella on the bag caught everyone’s eyes. And unsurprisingly, it won everyone’s hearts at the event. The pro is known as one of the most wholehearted people on the PGA Tour, and he never fails to prove it again and again.

His gear and hat also fascinated the golf world. They asked in the comments, “Where can we get those hats?” followed by “Need that bag” and “Thats drip.” However, the comments were all about cheering, “Rickie Rickie Rickie!” and “It’s great to see you play well again. You have grown up in front of us. Play on and play well!” However, one reaction, in particular, was a little off track. The golf fans did not feel it was right to give all credit to Fowler. He said, “Or Puma has exclusive rights to the Arnold Palmer logo so yea.”
