Rickie Fowler is probably the golfer at the top of the “best player not to win a major” list, or at least he’s the player golf fans root so hard to see finally win one.
He’s gotten so close at all four majors but has fallen just short and lately, he’s been struggling: he’s missed two cuts in 2021 and finished no better than 20th in any tournament he’s played in since September.
Which brings us to what Sir Nick Faldo said on Twitter about Fowler who — per Golf Digest — is currently on the outside looking in on making the cut to play in the 2021 Masters.
Faldo said this in response:
Good news is if he misses the Masters he can shoot another six commercials that week! 😳 https://t.co/kgGcmaZUJO

That is savage. That is Shaq calling out Donovan Mitchell during an interview-level awkward. It feels like Faldo didn’t have to go there. But he called it “motivation.”
Motivation! https://t.co/rki0oet5aX

There are other ways to motivate players, even if you’re claiming you’re joking or whatever. This feels unnecessary.
