Rickie Fowler, 35, is at a critical juncture in his career. As the FedEx Cup Fall heads to the Sanderson Farms Championship this week, Fowler begins the journey to stay exempt on the PGA Tour, which he is through 2025. After failing to qualify for the FedEx Cup for the third time in the last four seasons, Fowler makes his first start at the Sanderson Farms Championship since 2009 and seeks to win for the seventh time on Tour. Fowler currently sits at No. 110 in the FedEx Cup Fall standings.
