There are so many good golfers that its really hard to say how many majors they will win. Got the guys that already have one then a ton of guys that have the potential to win one. Fowler is 100% in that group that can but there is also 20+ guys that can. Just so tough

My daughter will kill you for criticizing Rickie! I don't like the flatbill but he is a very nice young man IRL, hell he even put up with Net for 18 holes and then posed for pictures.

If all anyone has to bitch about is his hat and his clothes, I'd say I'd be pleased if I was him. Who gives a shite what he wears? Well, other than Cosmo.

Dude is a great on course and off course guy. But he reminds me of Westwood(except better putter) and Dustin Johnson. Seems like they can get close but not win. I think he will win a major but not til he is much older.

I don't know. He's never really had a near miss or "choke" like Westwood or DJ.

He's definitely on the upswing, but it will just depends on where he peaks. I think he breaks through and wins a few tournaments this year, which would be great for him since he only has 1 win on tour.

He gets in a major or two during his career. 4 or 5 at the most IMO.

I've never met him. So I still have much hate. His outfits are getting better. But still hideous to my 41 year old eyes.

Now it's the facial hair. Trying to look like DiCaprio in Django. He's RACIST!!!!

Brad Gilbert made Andy Roddick dump the visor for a trucker hat and Roddick won the 2003 US Open. So, there is some precedent for this.

the guy completely overhauled his swing before the season and it's already paying off huge. Give him some more time to refine it. He's an impressive young guy, I'm pulling for him


And don't ever put him in the same category as DJ. DJ would have won the open by 20 strokes if he could make a 10 foot putt. It was comical watching him slide it left, then right of the hole while everyone else slammed em home. That dude is never winning a major....

Yeah but he lacks a killer instinct, and you rarely see him putting up a blazing round to get his tournament going. I think it'll come, I just don't think he's well suited to win frequently yet.

I like the kid, although admittedly I wouldn't mind seeing him dress like a grown up when he decides its time.
