Mondo Duplantis has made immense waves in the world with his accolades in the world of pole vaulting. This has proven to be especially the case since Rickie Fowler opened up about his connection with the Swede star a while back in his interview. Moreover, even the golfer’s wife boasts of a career in the said sport.

But even so, his love for the game of golf has not pushed him to take part in any other activities. But naturally, the question arises, what would have happened if he had wanted a second career choice? Well, that is exactly what Fowler opened up about, or in this instance, shared what would not have been the case as he took to an interview ahead of the biennial tournament, surprising many!

Rickie Fowler opens up on his career options

In 2019, Fowler married Allison Stokes, a famous athlete herself who showcased amazing skill in pole vaulting. Although she could not make it to the Olympic team in 2012, it has been an immense part of her life nonetheless. However, the Ryder Cup-bound player had some different opinions regarding the sport when asked about the same in a press conference.

In the presser ahead of the Ryder Cup, the 34-year-old mentioned how he just stuck to carrying the poles from the garage to the pit in addition to “filming or giving any maybe insight” to what he saw during his wife’s practice. Besides, the golfer was fixed on his decision to not take “a run down the runway” in a bid to try to pole vault.

Reasoning his choices, the 6X PGA Tour Pro explained how it was not something that one does on the go, but requires at least a “few months of work” in order to “go into getting to that point” all the while emphasizing the difficulty of the sport. Moreover, Fowler pointed out how it was not worth the risk with what he had currently going on in his life.

Well, even when harboring such feelings for his wife’s sport, he has been extremely supportive of the athletes playing the same. Such was the case with Mondo Duplantis and Fowler himself, who went ahead to help out the Swedish professional during his visit.

The Mondo Duplantis-Ricke Fowler connection
