In professional golf, camaraderie and friendship can often be found among competitors. One notable example is the close bond between Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas, who have proven time and again their unwavering support for each other both on and off the course. As they participate in the Scottish Open, a recent video capturing Fowler passionately cheering on Thomas has once again put their remarkable friendship in the spotlight. Let’s take a closer look at their bromance and their journey in the golfing world.
Rickie Fowler, Justin Thomas, and Jordan Spieth form a formidable trio, known not only for their exceptional golfing skills but also for their solid friendship. Recently, their camaraderie gained attention when they made a joint appearance at Wimbledon. While Spieth faced some online teasing for his lack of ironing skills, the trio continues to stand by each other, even when competing against one another on the PGA Tour.
Currently participating in the Scottish Open, Fowler and Thomas continue to showcase their remarkable bond. During the second round, as Thomas teed off near Fowler’s hotel balcony, a quick video captured Fowler passionately cheering for his friend. This heartwarming moment quickly went viral and has garnered over half a million views online. Clearly, the Rickie-JT bromance is not only genuine but also something that resonates with fans.
While their friendship was forged through golf, Fowler and Thomas have formed connections that transcend the sport. Along with Spieth and Smylie Kaufman, they make up the famous spring break group. The name originated from their shared golf trip during spring break a few years ago. Additionally, Thomas and Spieth have both invested in Leeds United, a recently relegated team from the English Premier League. Although Fowler initially joined the investment group, he later decided to withdraw.
Currently, Fowler finds himself on an upward trajectory in his career. After enduring a four-year slump, he triumphed at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit. With an impressive eighth place on the FedEx Cup points list and a 21st position in the World Golf Rankings, Fowler has solidified his comeback. In contrast, Thomas is experiencing some challenges this season. Ranked 70th in the FedEx Cup points and having missed the cut in three of his last four events, he faces the pressure to perform well in the upcoming tournaments to secure his place in the playoffs.
As the Scottish Open progresses, Fowler and Thomas have put on remarkable displays of skill. While Spieth unfortunately missed the cut, Thomas sits at a respectable 3-under after shooting 68-69. Fowler, in exceptional form, heads into Round 3 with back-to-back 67s, positioning him at 6-under and T10. Their performances demonstrate not only their individual talents but also the mutual support that drives their remarkable friendship.
