Rickie Fowler, wife Allison welcome second daughter Nellie

Rickie Fowler had a good reason for missing the Wyndham Championship, as Fowler and wife Allison welcomed their second child this week.

Fowler reported the news Saturday morning on Instagram, as Nellie joins her more seasoned sister Maya in what is presently a family of four. Fowler, 35, shared a family photo with Maya holding one hand of each of her guardians, with a likely languid Nellie in her mother’s arm.

“My Family!! Right where I’m assumed to be,” Fowler composed on Instagram. “Welcome to the group Nellie.”

Fowler chosen not to compete at the Wyndham Championship, the FedExCup Standard Season finale, in spite of positioning exterior the best 70 within the season-long FedExCup standings. He will consequently not qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs. The six-time PGA Visit champ wrapped up No. 16 in final year’s FedExCup, his 2023 season highlighted by a win at the Rocket Contract Classic, but he has fizzled to appear the same shape in 2024. Earlier to the Wyndham, he positioned No. 102 on the FedExCup Playoffs and Qualification Focuses List.

A few things are more imperative than comes about, in spite of the fact that, and Fowler’s radiating grin in Saturday’s family-of-four photo demonstrated fair that.
