Can Rickie Fowler win the John Deere Classic 2025?

Rickie Fowler’s last PGA Tour victory came at the Rocket Classic 2023. However, he failed to replicate the same form this year and missed the cut in the competition in Detroit last weekend. Now, the 36-year-old golfer is teeing up at the John Deere Classic 2025 in hopes of ending his yearlong winless run.

Fowler, sitting 111th in the Official World Golf Rankings, comes into the TPC Deere Run competition as a longshot favorite. He comes in with 55-1 odds, according to SportsLine. The six-time PGA Tour winner sits 10th in terms of odds on the 156-player field, sharing the position with Kurt Kitayama.

Ben Griffin, Jason Day, Denny McCarthy, Si Woo Kim, Chris Kirk, and last week’s Rocket Classic winner Aldrich Potgieter are among the many golfers sitting above Fowler with better odds.

For the unversed, Fowler has had a mixed PGA Tour season so far. The ace golfer started 2025 with a T21 at The American Express, a result he only beat four events later at the Cognizant Classic. He finished T18 at the PGA National contest. He has so far made five top-25 finishes. However, his T7 at The Memorial Tournament remains the only top-10 finish of the season.

Notably, Fowler’s Major season has also been forgettable. He missed the cut at the PGA Championship and failed to qualify for both the Masters and the US Open. The California native is now set to tee up at The Open Championship in July. However, his form continues to be shaky. Coming to Illinois on the back of a missed cut, the Ryder Cupper will be eyeing a big comeback this weekend.
