Rickie Fowler: Strength

Rickie Fowler has not been having things his way lately. He had to rely on an invitation to get to play on this Golf course. The reason is not far-fetched, as he has dropped out of the ranking of not being top 100. 

Michael Kim: Form and Statistics

Michael Kim is a professional golfer from the United States who has one victory on the PGA Tour. He earned a spot in the 2013 U.S. Open by finishing tied for first place in the sectional qualifier he entered. Michael Kim was tied for 10th place after the third round of competition.

Rickie Fowler vs Michael Kim Match Prediction 19 June 2025

The match is expected to be closely contested, with both golfers performing at their best. Even the bookies support this claim. Rickie Fowler shoots a Friday 64 at Colonial Country Club and currently sits T4. He got the party started early at the Memorial, holding out for birdie at the 3rd from 127 yards. If I had to pick a Pro, I’d probably go with Rickie Fowler. He just seems like a cool, laid-back guy that would be fun to hang out with on the course. He already had his success, including very high finishes in majors. Michael Kim is my new favorite PGA tour follower, he recaps every practice round and tournament round and gives us an inside look at a player's life. However, I will be giving Fowler the win.
