Rickie Fowler Taunted With ‘Overrated’ Chants Again as PGA Tour Career Sees Rapid Decline
The golfer’s early success set the bar high, and golf fans are keeping a close eye on how his game stacks up today. But the downfall is what raises the question of early success. Rickie Fowler went through something similar when his early career accomplishments were reaching similar records as Tiger Woods, and Jack Nicklaus.
Take the example of his being in the top 5 in all four majors in 2014. This feat was achieved by Woods, Nicklaus, and Fowler. With his career on the decline, questions linger. A decade after his first PLAYERS win, the former World No. 1 amateur returns. On the No Laying Up Podcast, Randy weighed in on the golfers in the field.
Kevin van Valkenburg asked him, “We have joked for years that Ricky is the manifestation of late-stage capitalism.” Sharing for which he said, “Man, I just think it’s I, I just think it’s, it’s it’s moving merchandise, it’s pushing product, it’s being in countless commercials.” The frustration of being present off the course for commercials for the brands, while being mediocre at the course with his performance, disturbed Randy.
Even for the preference of choosing orange, the looper said, “I’d be embarrassed. I, I’m… it’s cringe.” Well, this is just what the insider thought about the golfer. His career decline has raised questions for the media as well. Often, victories were close, and that led to the question. Even Skip Bayless’ voice note ( a Sports Commentator) was shared during the podcast, which said, “But maybe never in the history of sports has a player been more overrated, certainly more overhyped than Rickie Fowler.”
The golfer has done many commercials for brands like TaylorMade, ESPN, Crowne Plaza Hotels, Rocket Mortgage, Quicken Loans, and Farmers Insurance. More commercials on stagnant winnings raised doubt about the hype. In 2023, the commentator said he’d win his first major at 34. At 36, the wait continues.
Bayless also said a punchline on Fowler, “Rickie Fowler marketing lighting rod.” Recently, Rickie teamed up with Ernst & Young in January—logo front and center at The PLAYERS. But with his game struggling, can he turn back the clock and find redemption? Let’s dive into his past performances.
Rickie Fowler’s performance track
Until now, in the 2025 schedule, the 36-year-old had mixed finishes. At The American Express, the 97th ranked professional was placed at T21. While at Pebble Beach, he slipped to T53. Now with the last two participations, the redemption path can be seen as he was T39 at Genesis Invitational and T18 at Cognizant Classic.
However, the confidence at the TPC Sawgrass wouldn’t be the same as after winning in 2015, the performance has seen a decline. Even in the past 4 seasons, he recorded his best finish in 2023 with T13. But this year would be crucial for him as with the performance and rank decline, the golfer is also missing out on performing without the sponsor exemption. Something that happened at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Looking at the year’s performance, a redemption path could be seen by the golfer, but his record at the PLAYERS will be tough to guess. What are your predictions for his performance? Let us know in the comments.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
