Fowler quashes any speculation about a possible move to LIV Golf

Generally I see gamers signing contracts with LIV Golf. This might outline that sort of eagerness of some to interpret any assertion or gesture of a participant as a sign that they may find yourself within the Saudi league. The most recent ‘sufferer’ of this ardour for hypothesis has been Rickie Fowler. His sin was to seem in Hawaii to play the primary match of the 12 months of the PGA Tour with out two of his common sponsors: Farmers Insurance coverage and Rocket Mortgage.

These two circumstances have been taken benefit of by lovers of informational chaos to feed the chance that Fowler was negotiating with LIV Golf. Effectively, Rickie has stepped ahead and has settled the matter fairly convincingly. “I’m not going anyplace, zero plans,” he stated in a telephone dialog with Golfweek.

Furthermore, the Californian golfer had no qualms about explaining what the state of affairs is with these two lacking sponsors. Within the case of Farmers, the contract that sure them merely ended on the finish of 2023 and from the American insurer, which has only recently changed its CEO, it has been determined to not proceed this relationship after a few years.

In the meantime, with Rocket Mortgage the state of affairs is completely different. In response to Fowler, they’re negotiating the continuity of the sponsorship and every thing factors to an settlement within the subsequent few days.

“There’s no want to fret about that. Seeing how exhausting the blokes on the PGA Tour work, particularly being with Cantlay within the season and earlier than this match, I’ve by no means seen an individual spend a lot time on the telephone. These guys put in numerous effort and time. Final 12 months I used to be on the gamers’ council, however I’ve tried to remain out of it as a result of I belief the blokes who’re there. With Jordan, Cantlay, Tiger and the others, I’ve simply trusted that we’re all going to finish up in a great place and I’ve no plans to go anyplace.”

And he provides: “I don’t have a look at social media a lot. I assume it’s the period we stay in. There’s not a lot you possibly can consider or belief, as a result of something can come out. I’m very enthusiastic about what lies forward, concerning the Tour and on a regular basis and energy these guys have put in.”

By the best way, Fowler is not going to play the Farmers this 12 months.
