Fowler Talks Vision Trouble at 150 Yards

Rickie Fowler, during Thursday’s first round of the Memorial, birdied the par-4 2nd at Muirfield Village after hitting his approach, from 186 yards out, to 20 feet.
He birdied the par-4 6th after hitting his approach there, from 161 yards out, to 9 feet.
Fowler birdied the par-5 9th after hitting his second shot, from 289 yards out, to 101 yards out, and his third shot to 16 feet.
He saw those shots from start to finish, too.
“I can actually see the ball land,” he said.
Fowler confessed after his round that he’s struggled seeing objects farther away than 150 yards. “Before it was kind of a hazy shadow,” he said. So he experimented with sunglasses at home, started wearing a tinted, prescription pair at the Wells Fargo Championship at the start of last month and shot a three-under 69 on Thursday, which has him near the top of the leaderboard as he eyes his first win since 2019.
“So, no, I tried, it’s not enough to where, like, I really wanted to try going to like Lasik or anything like that,” Fowler said. “I’ve always been able to see up close fine; I don’t have any problem with that. The only time I start to struggle with some depth perception is in low-light situations, so like early morning or as the sun’s going down. And so I just wanted to try another option before going to Lasik down the road.
“Tried wearing some just standard sunglasses at home, because I always felt that with the nose piece, with how much I move sometimes in the swing, it would get in the way and I would lose sight of the ball, so I didn’t like glasses forever.
“Now that things have been cleaned up and I swing a little bit more just within myself, that gave me the opportunity in just standard sunglasses without prescription I saw that I wasn’t squinting as much, I wasn’t stressing my eyes as much, especially with it being bright out too, especially in Florida. So I said, shoot, why don’t we try prescription.”
Whether there’s a correlation between sunglasses and scores remains to be seen. But he’s talked about his far-sightedness in golf, or lack thereof, in the past.
At last year’s Masters, with sundown rapidly approaching, Fowler hit his tee shot on the par-3 12th into the water ahead of the green and made a 6. Play was soon called for the day from there. Afterward, Fowler said he wished he would have called over an official to see how much time was left in the round — and added that in the gloaming he struggles with his eyesight, particularly his depth perception. “I don’t see very well far away,” he said.
In 2014, after the second round of the Open Championship at Royal Liverpool, Fowler described his eyes as “very sensitive.”
“I think some of the setup things that I struggle with sometimes, my shoulders get shut and my head gets behind the ball,” he said. “If any of those are just a little off and my head is not in the proper position, then my eyes aren’t able to see the line properly.”
Until now.

Love on the Fairway: Heartwarming Golf Course Love Stories
Like golf itself, not all rounds end well

Golf is often seen as a sport of precision, patience, and strategy. But for many, the golf course has been more than just a field of play—it has been a setting for romance, a backdrop to chance encounters, and a place where love has blossomed amidst the rolling greens and sand traps. From serendipitous meetings to long-lasting partnerships, love stories on the golf course are as varied as the game itself.

Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll: A Love Story Across Continents
One of the most well-known golf love stories is that of Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll. The two first crossed paths at the 2012 Ryder Cup, where Stoll, then working for the PGA of America, played a key role in ensuring McIlroy made it to his tee time on time after a scheduling mishap. What began as a simple act of kindness blossomed into a deep friendship and eventually a romance. The couple tied the knot in a stunning ceremony in 2017, but sadly ended their relationship recently.

A Proposal with a Hole-in-One: Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky
For some, the golf course has set the stage for unforgettable romantic gestures. Dustin Johnson, one of the most dominant players in professional golf, found love with Paulina Gretzky, daughter of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky. The couple first met in 2009 but didn’t start dating until 2013. Johnson proposed later that year, and they have since built a family together. Paulina has been a constant presence at tournaments, supporting Johnson as he has claimed major victories, including his 2020 Masters triumph.

From Tee to “I Do”: Brooks Koepka and Jena Sims
Beyond proposals, many professional golfers have incorporated golf into their weddings. Brooks Koepka and actress Jena Sims, for example, have been an inseparable couple since they began dating in 2017. Known for their playful chemistry, Koepka and Sims tied the knot in a lavish beachside wedding in 2022. Jena, a passionate golfer herself, frequently accompanies Brooks to tournaments and has been a source of motivation through his career highs and lows.

Love Beyond Competition: Tiger Woods and His Romantic Journey
Golf can be a competitive game, but for many professional players, it has also been a source of love and companionship. Tiger Woods, one of the greatest golfers of all time, has had a well-documented personal life. His relationship with former ski racer Lindsey Vonn was one of the most high-profile pairings in sports. Although they eventually parted ways, their shared passion for competition and mutual respect demonstrated how athletes from different disciplines can find common ground and support one another.

Senior Love Stories: Bernard Langer and Vikki Carol
Love stories on the golf course are not just for young couples. Many senior golfers have found lasting love through the sport. Take two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer and his wife, Vikki Carol. Married for over 35 years, the couple has built a life together centered around faith, family, and golf. Vikki has been a steadfast supporter of Langer’s career, traveling with him across the globe as he continues to dominate the PGA Tour Champions circuit.
The Golf Course: A Timeless Venue for Love
There’s something about the golf course that lends itself to romance. Perhaps it’s the tranquil setting, the shared moments of triumph and frustration, or the simple joy of spending hours together in a relaxed and beautiful environment. Whether it’s a first date, a proposal, a wedding, or decades of companionship, the golf course has played a pivotal role in many love stories, including those of PGA professionals.
So the next time you tee off, take a moment to appreciate the connections that golf fosters—not just between club and ball, but between people. You never know if your next round might lead to a love story of your own.
