$40 million worth (via Celebrity Net Worth) PGAT winner Rickie Fowler received praise from Brad Faxon before the Open Championship began on Thursday. The Open Championship is the last major of the PGA Tour schedule, and it will take place from July 17 to 20. Before the tournament started, Faxon joined a press conference to share a few words about Fowler.
Faxon shared how comfortable it was to talk to Fowler and that Fowler approached him to talk to him. His words were:
“Rickie was playing with rules. He was the only guy who came up to me, was very easy to talk to…There’s something about Rickie Fowler right now that looks comfortable to me.”
Rickie Fowler had five top 20 finishes in 2025, and those came at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches with T18, the Truist Championship with T15, the Charles Schwab Challenge with T16, the Memorial Tournament with T7, and the John Deere Classic with T18. His first 2025 event was the American Express, where he finished at T21.
