COBRA PUMA GolfTM, a leader in golf club and apparel innovation, is pleased to announce the signing of Rickie Fowler to a long-term extension that will keep the California native in the CPG family for years to come. Fowler, who initially signed with PUMA Golf in ’09 and COBRA Golf in ’12, will continue to wear head-to-toe PUMA Golf apparel and carry a full bag of COBRA clubs.
Rickie Fowler: “Cobra Puma is like family”
“The COBRA PUMA Golf brands are like family to me,” said Fowler. “The clubs and apparel are as good as it gets and the fact that they know what I look for in fashion and style gives me extra confidence on and off the course. While their products are incredible, I also truly value all the relationships I’ve built here throughout my career. Extending this partnership was a simple decision and I’m excited to stay part of these amazing brands.”
A six-time winner on the PGA Tour including the ’15 Players Championship, Fowler has been a stalwart in team competitions over the years as a five-time US Ryder Cup team member and three-time member of the US Presidents Cup team. The Oklahoma State alum also boasts top three finishes in all four majors and multiple international wins including the Scottish Open.
In addition to his success on the course, Fowler has also been a style icon since turning professional in ’09. Initially known for wearing his signature Sunday Orange, Fowler continues to lead the way in bringing style and fashion to the golf course, making him an ideal partner for COBRA PUMA Golf.
“We are thrilled to officially extend our relationship with Rickie and look forward to continuing our work with him for many years,” said Dan Ladd, President of COBRA PUMA Golf. “Rickie is a special talent who brings a competitive spirit and style to the game that we absolutely love.

The Wyndham Championship marked the end of the 36-event regular season of the PGA Tour, determining the top 70 players who will advance to the FedExCup Playoffs. These Playoffs, consisting of three tournaments, begin with the FedEx St. Jude Championship and continue with the BMW Championship. Only the top 50 players from the St. Jude Championship will move on to the next stage, and this group will also earn spots in all Signature Events in 2025. The season then culminates at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, where the top 30 players will compete for the FedExCup title and a significant $25 million prize. This article takes a closer look at who secured their place, who missed out, and why even a tournament victory doesn’t always guarantee a spot in the Playoffs.
The Top 10 Players: Leading the Standings
Leading the charge into the Playoffs are the season’s standout performers, Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele, occupying the first and second spots, respectively. Following closely are Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, and Wyndham Clark, all of whom have shown exceptional form throughout the year. Ludvig Aberg, making waves in his debut full season on the PGA Tour, impressively holds the sixth position. He is trailed by Sahith Theegala and Hideki Matsuyama. Perhaps the most unexpected presence in the top 10 is South Korea’s Sungjae Im, who clinched the ninth spot. Rounding out the elite group is Ireland’s Shane Lowry.
Notable Players Missing the Playoffs
Not surprisingly, Tiger Woods is absent from the Playoffs roster. The legendary golfer, who now selectively participates in Majors and his own Genesis Invitational, wrapped up the season in 220th place. For Woods, the result holds little consequence as his focus has long shifted to the bigger stages of the sport. Rickie Fowler, a recent father, also failed to make the top 70, finishing 106th, far from the qualifying mark. Europe’s Ryder Cup stalwart Nicolai Hojgaard, who played a pivotal role in Rome, finds himself on the outside looking in after finishing 81st in the standings.
Matt Kuchar’s remarkable streak of 17 consecutive Playoff appearances came to a halt this year, as he finished 103rd. Similarly, Kevin Kisner, who will once again lend his insights as an NBC commentator during the Playoffs, ended his campaign in 196th place.
The Davis Riley Scenario: When a Win Isn’t Enough
Davis Riley’s situation underscores the unforgiving nature of the FedExCup Playoffs qualification process. Despite claiming victory at the Charles Schwab Challenge, earning a hefty 500 FedExCup points, Riley narrowly missed the cut, finishing 71st—just one spot shy of advancing. This scenario highlights that a single win, no matter how significant, doesn’t guarantee a Playoff spot. A comparison with Sepp Straka, who has yet to secure a win in 2024, further illustrates this point. Straka’s consistency, particularly in the Signature Events, propelled him to 18th in the standings. His two top-five finishes at the RBC Heritage and the Memorial Tournament earned him more points than Riley’s lone victory.
Worth the wait.

Rickie Fowler, Justin Thomas, Eli Manning and Theo Epstein took a stroll at the famous Pine Valley Golf Club in Pine Hill, New Jersey. The “Spring Break” boys trip is a tradition Fowler and Thomas engage in every year. In previous years Jordan Spieth joined his colleagues. With wild golf rounds and lots of funny videos the trips are well known among fans. This year the pros take a more layback approach, but Fowler crowned it with a one in a lifetime shot, well for pro’s it’s more like a few in a lifetime at this point.
Rickie Fowler Makes Hole in One in Pine Valley
From 182 yards, according to Golfweek, Fowler aced the par 3 third hole with a relaxed 7-iron. After a few seconds of hoping and cheers from his flight, the ball went in and on goes the celebration.

Rickie Fowler and his wife Allison are awaiting the arrival of their second child, set to join their family this summer. The news was shared by Fowler himself on Instagram.
Rickie Fowler and his wife Allison become parents again
Already parents to their adorable 2-year-old daughter, Maya, born in November 2021, the Fowlers are now preparing to welcome another child into their life. With a due date of August 4th, the excitement is palpable for the couple turned soon-to-be family of four.
In an Instagram post, Fowler shared a glimpse of their family bliss, showcasing Maya with shoes ready for her baby sister, both adorned in matching Masters white caddie jumpsuits alongside proud parents Rickie and Allison.
Maya Fowler: The star of the Masters Par-3-Contest
At last week’s Masters Par 3 Contest, Maya Fowler charmed spectators and players alike with her playful antics on the course. Her delightful presence added an extra layer of joy to an already festive atmosphere, with Fowler ultimately clinching the Par 3 Contest title amidst the heartwarming scenes.
Reflecting on the experience, Fowler expressed the profound significance of having his daughter by his side, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime. He spoke of the special bond Maya shares with Jordan Spieth’s son, Sammy, born just days apart.
For Rickie Fowler, fatherhood has brought renewed purpose and inspiration to his game. Breaking a four-year winless streak at last summer’s Rocket Mortgage Classic, he celebrated the victory with Maya by his side, creating indelible memories that transcend the boundaries of sport. As he looks ahead to future triumphs, Fowler does so with the knowledge that his victories are shared with his growing family, now poised to embrace the journey as a foursome.
