Ricky Fowler is at it again. New year, same trendsetter and always pushing the envelope.
From the guy that brought us the flat bill, surfer locks, hipster stache, Sunday orange, high tops, joggers, and visible tattoos, Fowler is challenging golf’s old traditions yet again with a button down, untucked Hawaiian shirt.
At first glance, he could’ve been mistaken for a tourist who just walked out of the nearest beachside bar, but he only needed to roll one putt to know who that silky smooth putting stroke belonged to.
Fowler’s opening round getup in the 2018 Sentry Tournament of Champions was part of Puma Golf’s new Aloha Collection, which pays tribute to Fowler’s Japanese heritage by taking traditional Japanese designs and blending them with a new spin on classic Hawaiian style.
And Captain Comfortable certainly didn’t let the extra media attention affect his play. Fowler carded a smooth 4-under 69 at the Plantation Course in Kapalua, currently tied for 4th.
Love his style or hate it, its hard to argue with his results, not only on the course, but off as well!
It begs the question: Could this man get any more popular?
And then you remember, he hasn’t even won a major yet.
But Augusta is right around the corner and Mr. Cool will be a top choice.
