PGA Tour fan favourite Rickie Fowler makes special Family and PGA Tour announcement

Rickie Fowler and Wife Allison Welcome Their Second Child, Nellie

Rickie Fowler, a beloved figure on the PGA Tour and a multiple-time winner, has announced the joyous arrival of his second child with his wife, Allison. The couple, who are already parents to a daughter named Maya, welcomed another baby girl into their family, whom they have named Nellie.

Fowler shared the happy news on social media this past Saturday, posting a heartwarming photo of his growing family and captioning it with, “Welcome to the crew, Nellie.” The couple’s journey together has been filled with milestones. They began dating in 2017, tied the knot in 2019, and celebrated the birth of their first daughter, Maya, in 2021. Now, with the addition of Nellie, their family has grown once more.

The timing of Nellie’s birth coincides with Fowler’s absence from the Wyndham Championship, a PGA Tour event held at Sedgefield Country Club in North Carolina. This tournament, the final one before the FedExCup playoffs, could have been crucial for Fowler, who was ranked 104th in the standings with a slim chance of making it into the postseason. The top 70 players after this week’s event advance to the FedEx St. Jude Championship.

However, Fowler had already mentioned his intention to take a break from the tour after the final men’s major of the year, knowing that his wife’s due date was fast approaching. With Nellie’s arrival, Fowler has officially concluded his 2023-2024 season and will likely return to competition in the fall.

As the Fowler family celebrates this special time, fans and fellow players alike are sending their congratulations. Rickie and Allison’s growing family is sure to bring them much joy in the days to come.
