Rickie Fowler is striving hard to get back to the top of his game once again. Fowler’s form slump has been one of the most surprising phenomena in golf, but he’s doing everything to return to the top. As of now, Fowler’s participation at the U.S. Open 2021 hangs in uncertainty as he has to go through qualifying first.
You know a player is not in good form when he misses a major championship for the first time in a decade. That’s exactly what Fowler faced as he failed to qualify for the 2021 Masters, thus ending a streak of 43 consecutive majors played.
Rickie Fowler, however, qualified for the 2021 PGA Championship and achieved a solid T8 finish at Kiawah Island. It also marked the 32-year-old’s best performance this season in 18 starts.

Rickie Fowler is ready to redeem himself
