Timeline | Rickie Fowler’s emotional journey to first win since 2019

At one point one of the most consistent stars on the PGA TOUR, Rickie Fowler made a lot of changes to his game during a four-year winless drought that saw him fall out of the top 100 in the Official World Golf Ranking. After some intense buildup that included some close calls, Fowler is back on top with a win at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic.

Damn, this was a really well done synopsis of Rickie's trials and tribulations leading to a stellar 2023 so far. Can't wait to see what he does the rest of the year.

[@superbitesizedbuckets2451]

Love that he’s got his priorities straight. “Yeah winning’s great, but there’s a lot more to life than that.” He will always be my favorite golfer.

[@stephencarrillo9022]

he's got the same take on his sport that Jokic does.

[@ksignedoff]

Salute to the PGA KZbin team who made this video, absolute masterpiece and congrats to Rickie for the long awaited win!🎉

[@rykim514]

Wow what a come back for Rickie. Probably my favorite player with so much of his emotion and mentality under control. Somebody who was winning, struggling and pushing through to win again.

[@oN3xShOtxkilL]

I was gutted for him when he lost the US Open, he earned this victory !

[@golfbbqandwatches]

He never quit. That takes some serious grit and determination. This wasn’t just a win for Rickie, it was a win for his whole team, and his family. Always been a big fan, and love seeing him at the top yet again.

[@alolandonaldtrump8368]

This video does a great job at highlighting how difficult it is to win after a major mechanical swing change. Rickie completely changed the mechanics of his swing and didn't win again until three years later. This in part is what makes Tiger my overall GOAT, at the highest level of the sport he kept winning and winning tournaments through FOUR different swings...

[@GreenDistantStar]

Nobody I'd like to see win a major more than Ricky, a great ambassador for the game.

[@jackji2007]

A lot of Golfers come and go in my mind, but Rickie is some reason always here on top of the list for me to pay attention to. Wish he can get a major soon. Go Rickie.

[@ajfatca]

this was really well done, I almost want to see something like this done for Spieth too

[@sambest2312]

Ally, I’m so so grateful I stumbled upon your meditations 🙏☺️ I’ve had a meditation practice for 8 years and have gone through so many different approaches. Your meditations do so much to truly calm and reset my nervous system in a new way. Much gratitude 🙌

[@v.r.2276]

Rickie is such an amazing champion! Nobody saw him going into a serious slump. But he never gave up and through it all he was always generous with his time towards autograph seekers young and old. He is the people's champion.......much congrats Rickie!! Now lets nab a major!!

[@DylanJamesGolf]

Man I’m emotional watching this I can’t imagine how liberating it must feel for Rickie. well done , perseverance and hard work prove that success is earned not given. Let’s get the claret jug next!

[@ianrobertson1647]

So pleased for Rickie and thoroughly deserved. Just one of those really nice guys and watching him some time ago in a Rick Shiels video make me like him even more. In a golfing world full of LIV greed it is just great to see someone like him winning and remnding people how real stars should act.

[@Eat-MyGoal]

Such a solid guy. Glad he's back on track...

[@dakotagodwin8584]

Chills Rickie, you're a real inspiration to every golfer out there! 👏

[@smoozerish]

What a story.......always loved Ricky's attitude, and he showed grit and determination to pull himself out of a bad slump and get back on top of the world again.

[@fallout28]

Mad respect for PGA Tour KZbin team, great video.

[@petergoeggel2138]

I followed Rickie over all these hard years and didn’t quit following him despite many disappointments. Just great how he progressed step by step . So happy for him, his family and all his fans and friends - he deserves this comeback like no one else - a humble professional, always FairPlay!

[@jordanlemay8399]

Love Rickie!! I’m so stoked for him.

[@cruessli]

Go RICKIE ! What a pleasure seeing you wining

[@GRockBlues]

[@renejean2523]

Great video from PGA Tour. Thanks. Anyone who loves golf was so happy for Rickie this weekend. Wonderful stuff.

[@lptwenty9971]

beautiful to see rickie back at it again would love to see him and rory battling again got a taste a us open but feel like more is coming

[@scap8863]

Great summary of Rickie’s journey. Wish there was a U.S. Open piece but overall very good. Thank you!

[@kinsleykhoo48]

So so happy for Rickie to get back in the winners circle!! Couldnt happen to a nicer person...Cant wait to see him win more and get into the top 10 - Congratulations Rickie!!

[@paulhill7818]

So Happy to See Him back playing Great Golf.. PGA needs Him!! 😎

[@akshay831]

So incredibly happy for him. Grew up practically with him, seeing all those kids wear bright colors to the golf courses was his doing

[@JohnJohnson-he1yv]

Story for all of us. This is why he is so loved.

[@deldridg]

Great story and thank you. Reminds us to keep working at it. Golf is a very tough game and we all go through slumps (I'm in one now). Cheers from Sydney - Dave

[@Huddle_House56]

Watched him play a few holes walking around quail hollow this year. He was swinging it so good. Watched him make the only birdie of about 10-15 groups we watched go up that monster 18th hole on Saturday. My friend and I both said he was going to finally win something this year.

[@jasonroberts2049]

We all shed a tear for ya bud, way to go!!! Golf is definitely a bonus, but it's just the norm to see rickie on top!!!

[@tomcarrow]

Love this. I jumped out of my seat when he stuck that approach on 18 at the Rocket Mortgage. Such a great story of resilience.

[@Conada1002]

Good for Ricky Good things comes to those through patience, perseverance and faith

[@sampsonfilimaua1856]

That second shot from the rough was a dime!. 👌🏽

[@uhZerky]

as a man who has just gotten into golf within the past year, i would have never thought a golf video would give me chills like this

[@darthmaul1841]

“I’ll keep kickin’ she’s bound to start!” What a quote.

[@lukevick2420]

Rickie truly is back on top

[@lukevick2420]

Rickie deserved this one, he’s been playing insane recently!

[@smevox7490]

The Turn in Rickie's game happened after playing Rick Shiels on his channel.. Just saying.

[@DoubleOhTheG]

He's going to be on that Ryder Cup team

[@sipsimies1588]

This edit is brilliant, give the editor a raise

[@treya8685]

As a long time Rickie fan it looks like he might be making a long awaited return to the top where he belongs to be at. Excited to see what the road has for him the next couple of years starting with his first win in years.

[@SublimeSoundsASMR]

Always loved Rickie. Awesome to see him in form again.

[@CaptainRon1913]

Nobody more deserving. He's always maintained a class act and fan favorite. Hope for more in the future! Great job with the video BTW

[@robertsloan9746]

Golf is hard

[@jimiverson3085]

Changing putters helped, too. A heavier putter changes rhythm a lot.

[@TheOptimuspringles]

Can't express how happy I am to see Rickie getting the win he deserves. Putting in the hard work payed off for our neon friend. 👍

[@mikeygee3550]

We love you BDR!

[@CocoaFps]

So happy for Ricky what a guy!

[@drekorea]

Glad Ricky won! Was rooting for him last 4 tries but be really getting good!❤

[@pobodysnerfect9270]

Couldnt have happened for a better dude. Congrats!!

[@reginaldcortez8763]

rickie you growing up new family life is goodddddd

[@allensignaturetreeservices]

Such an inspiration.

[@boozy1]

Seeing him fall short at the U.S. open kinda bugged me, but seeing the breathe of relief when he sunk the putt was unreal good for Rick dawg

[@AquaticJourneyman]

What a comeback story. Watching him when I was younger with his long shaggy hair killing it in the field then slowly losing it. Always have been a fan of his and nice to see him constantly keep working and make it back to hold the trophy.

[@randyunderwood2894]

maturity strikes again

[@pling1227]

You could almost see all the weight being lifted from his shoulders when he holed that putt! Happy for Rickie!

[@MrTrickster8000]

Congrats Ricky well-deserved win 👏🙏👑🏆

[@jamiehackney5619]

You just gotta love the guy

[@niallmcgrath]

One of the great comeback stories. A battler, he'll earn so much confidence from that. Always plays well at The Open, too. Credit to Butch Harmon also.

[@mitchhalligan9497]

Ricky deserves a major title

[@themaconeau]

Nothing to lose, everything to gain. 😎 Welcome home, Rickie. 😎😎

[@jacobhensley8614]

2:25 I love this

[@TravisO14]

Well put together 👏

[@thenorthernwill]

Really happy for Ricky. Hopefully see him win a major in the next 12 months.

[@txbill2512]

Rickie's been through a lot so I'm thrilled to see him win again on the PGA Tour. I have to think there will be more after the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

[@aaronchan1088]

I think his first major title is around the corner. He would win the US Open if not for the bad conditions on sunday. As great as it was to get godzilla off his back, getting his first win in 1,610 days, he has yet to win his first major which is long overdue.

[@DOITJUSTRIGHTNOW]

Been Long journey. Go Rickie!!! Go get it!!!

[@nicholasduncan5842]

Rickie earned that win !!!!! I bet he’ll the win the Open at Liverpool in a few weeks!!!

[@swampThaang]

Classless comment by Faldo. Credit to Fowler for taking that in the best way possible.

[@scottwarner1017]

It's wonderful to see Rickie fowler and Jason day both winning this year.

[@Resenbrink]

What a freaking great fighting win.

[@jameshinton429]

Stoked Rickie! Get some brother!

[@lkae4]

It's quite remarkable how humble, honest and hardworking Rickie is after all the fame and success. He truly loves the game and the fans.

[@dennislower4742]

Loved this

[@lunnchie]

You can literally see the difference within himself through his eyes each interview.

[@jointder14]

LETS GO RIIICKKKKKIIIIE!

[@zzzzz45zzzzz79]

I am so freakin happy for Rick

[@rolandnelson6722]

Great piece. That story had to be told.

[@americaninthailand8760]

Awesome!

[@adriank2959]

Literally tasted my tears when I hear" Ricki has returned to the winner circle"

[@vtianzweidong4501]

Rickie is always great player!

[@Digsap84]

Great looking room, looking forward to all the reviews. Why not do a bag review like this video but of pro players bags or other youtubers.

[@harryp930]

Boss video

[@baldguyforpar]

Congrats Ricky 👏 👏 👏

[@ne6972]

Legend.

[@therookiemistake9714]

Nice content ❤

[@rogerburbidge826]

There are some who would say that his round with Rick Sheils was they real key to his resurgence!

[@user-js5xt2he1j]

축하해 리키~~! 오렌지 보이~~🍊🍊

[@codydavis3219]

So many golf shots guy was swinging buttery

[@KevenSandoval]

Mental resilience on point.

[@lukevick2420]

What a story

[@edwardgay3054]

BDR will be on the ryder cup!

[@GRockBlues]

awesome

[@munnjean]

Without question the whole key to Ricky's success was hooking up with Butch Harmon ,, the best ever golf coach.

[@caleballen8622]

That elusive Major is within striking distance..... #RichardFforPrez

[@benjaminburgess6880]

I'm looking for him in contention at the Open

[@Raydington]

4:32

[@rayyoon6060]

Winning is great. But there is a lot more to life than that. WORD.

[@joetato2227]

I'd love to see Rickie play himself on to the Ryder cup 1 more time.
