What is inside Rickie Fowler's bag? 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic 2023 winner’s WITB explored
Rickie Fowler won the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic, held at the Detroit Golf Club last week. His Odyssey Versa Jailbird putter helped him win the championship.
The American golfer began using the putter in January and has since improved his performance on the PGA Tour.
In an interview with Golf WRX earlier this year, Fowler remarked about the putter, saying:
"I was very shocked because I never really looked into anything that was longer, counterbalanced, or anything like that. It’s very interesting, but it’s kind of freeing me up in a way.
"I’m not changing stroke-wise, or setup, not gripping anything differently than my normal length putter. I just feel like it’s, I don’t know, kind of helping me do some things, and I don’t have to think about it.”
Rickie Fowler used a Cobra Aerojet Ls driver, and fairway woods at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Most of his golf gear was from Cobra while his putter was from Odyssey. He used TaylorMade's ball and Pride Tour velvet grips.
