American golf star Rickie Fowler has officially resigned from the PGA Tour to join the controversial and star-studded LIV Golf League. The announcement came early this morning through a cryptic Instagram post, leaving fans and fellow players in absolute disbelief.
Just when everyone thought the storm between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf had calmed, Fowler has reignited the rivalry with one of the most shocking career moves of 2025. Known for his charisma, colorful fashion, and loyal fan base, Fowler’s exit from the PGA Tour marks a major blow to the organization that helped shape his career.
“This wasn’t an easy decision,” Fowler said in his post. “But it’s time for something new — for myself, my family, and my future. Change isn’t always comfortable, but it’s necessary.”
Insiders report that Fowler’s deal with LIV Golf is massive — rumored to be worth over $75 million, making it one of the most lucrative signings since Jon Rahm’s headline-making switch last year. Sources close to the player suggest that Fowler had been in quiet talks with LIV executives for months, weighing his options and preparing for what he called “a new era in golf.”
The reaction from fans has been explosive. Some praised Fowler for finally taking control of his career and embracing the financial and creative freedom that LIV Golf promises. Others, however, expressed deep disappointment, calling the move “a betrayal” of the PGA Tour that made him a global icon.
PGA Tour officials have yet to release an official statement, but reports suggest they were blindsided by the timing of Fowler’s resignation. One anonymous Tour representative called it “a shocking and disappointing loss.”
Meanwhile, LIV Golf wasted no time in welcoming their newest star. A statement on their official page read:
“Rickie Fowler embodies the spirit of innovation, entertainment, and global appeal that LIV Golf stands for. We are thrilled to have him join our family.”
Fowler’s move could trigger yet another wave of player departures, as several top names have reportedly been monitoring his next step closely. Analysts say his switch may reignite tensions between the two tours just as peace talks were beginning to make progress.
With this monumental shift, one thing is clear: golf will never be the same again.
Fans are now eagerly awaiting Fowler’s official LIV debut, rumored to take place at the upcoming event in Dubai — and if there’s one thing everyone can agree on, it’s that all eyes will be on him.
