Rickie Fowler is in grave danger of missing the Masters

If the Masters started today, Rickie Fowler wouldn't be in the field at Augusta National Golf Club. The 36-year-old is quickly running out of time to punch his ticket to the first major championship of the 2025 season.

Since Fowler is ranked outside the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking (currently 105th), he's not high enough to automatically qualify for the Masters. The fan-favorite was able to tee it up at Augusta National last year by winning the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic. That exemption has run dry. Fowler has only two more chances to score a last-minute invite to the Masters, but it's a long shot.

The only way Fowler can qualify for the Masters is to win the Texas Children's Houston Open this week or the Valero Texas Open next week. Considering he's won just once since 2019, it's highly unlikely we'll see him donning his iconic Sunday orange at Augusta this year.
