Open Champion Smith Champions the Split of Aussie Tournaments: A Game-Changing Move!
Fowler (illness) WDs from WM Phoenix Open
In a surprising turn of events, Rickie Fowler has officially withdrawn from the highly anticipated WM Phoenix Open due to an undisclosed illness. The 34-year-old American star notified tournament officials of his decision early Wednesday morning.
Fowler, a celebrated five-time PGA Tour champion, was set to hit the greens at 10:20 a.m. local time on Thursday alongside fellow golf icons Jordan Spieth and Jon Rahm. His absence creates a notable gap in the lineup, as he is one of the most beloved figures on Tour.
