Rickie Fowler Looking To Get Back To Having Success At PGA National
2 mins agoRickie Fowler has made many starts at PGA National in his career. His run in the 2010s was as spectacular as any player could hope for at a single event over 10 years, especially one as unforgiving as the Champion Course. Racking up a win in 2017, a T2 in 2019, two top 10s, and a top 15, the now 36-year-old was the person to beat in Palm Beach Gardens. However, things haven't been as kind to him lately, as he's struggled to crack the top 40 in his last four starts here. Approach play has been the only thing to falter in his past four tries compared to earlier in his career, which hasn't been the greatest to begin this season (ranked 119th in strokes gained on approach: -0.206). Short game and putting have also been weak, as he ranks 160th in strokes gained around the green (-0.423) and 123rd in strokes gained putting (-0.213). As much as the golf world would love another Fowler resurgence, signals aren't there to have any optimism for it this week.
