The FedEx Cup playoffs will be here before we know it and the jockeying for positions continues all season long. We’re taking a look at those close to the cut line for getting in the playoffs and the subject of this article is No. 118, Rickie Fowler.

It’s been a tough season for Fowler, who has shown flashes of brilliance but has largely played less than what is expected from him. Fowler has entered 20 events and made 12 cuts so far. However, he only has one Top 10 finish.
