Watch: Rickie Fowler hilariously reacts to the announcer getting his place wrong while introducing him at The American Express first tee

During the announcement on the first tee of the American Express 2024, a hilarious incident took place when the announcer got Rickie Fowler's place mistaken.

Fowler was grouped with Justin Thomas as the penultimate pair to tee off at the opening round of the American Express from the first hole of the La Quinta Country Club. This was his second start of the season, while the two-time major champion was making his first start of the year.

The PGA Tour shared a clip on X, where Fowler can be seen correcting the announcer's mistake. The video begins with Thomas having a banter with Fowler's caddie, Ricky Romano.

A few seconds later, the announcer says:

"From Marietta, Georgia, Rickie Fowler!"

After the applause settled, the 34-year-old American corrected the announcer and pointed backward, saying:

"Over there."

For the uninitiated, Marietta is located in Georgia, while Fowler's hometown, Murrieta, is in California. After apologizing for his gaffe, the announcer corrects himself, saying:

"From Murrieta, California."

Fowler carded 2-under 70 and was 8 strokes back after the opening round. He sank a triple bogey on the par-4, second hole, but then had five birdies to recover.

Thomas, playing his first round of the PGA Tour 2024 season, shot 7-under-65 and was placed T14, three strokes behind joint leaders Zach Johnson and Alex Noren. He sank six straight birdies on the front nine. He bogeyed the tenth hole and then sank two more birdies.

When will Rickie Fowler begin the Friday round of the American Express?

Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas will play the second round of American Express on the PGA West Nicklaus Course. The pair will tee off on Friday, January 19, from the tenth hole at 12:58 p.m. ET.
