Check out rare photos of Rickie Fowler’s equipment through the years

Rickie Fowler’s resurgence has produced some spectacularly-low rounds and put him in contention at several tournaments, including the 2023 U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club after he shot an opening-round 62. He didn’t win at LACC, but bounced back a week later at TPC River Highlands by shooting a 60 on Saturday. On Sunday, competing in his sixth tournament in the last seven weeks, Fowler broke through and won the Rocket Mortgage Classic in a playoff over Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin.

From an equipment standpoint, Rickie Fowler has been one of the most interesting players on the PGA Tour for over a decade. After leaving Oklahoma State and turning pro, he continued to play Titleist gear. He then transitioned into Cobra equipment, which, along with Titleist and FootJoy, was a part of Acushnet Brands. However, in March of 2012, Acushnet sold Cobra to Puma and Fowler wound up becoming the flagship player for Cobra Puma Golf.

Over the years, Fowler has shifted from using classic muscleback blades into cavity-back irons, and his taste in putters has veered from heel-toe weighted blades into black-and-while mallets.
