Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker Will Represent the USA in the World Cup of Golf

Rickie Fowler didn’t hesitate to choose his playing partner for the World Cup of Golf event coming up at the end of November.

After Bubba Watson withdrew his name from consideration, Fowler was next in line. He quickly chose one of his best friends (which he points out in an Instagram post below) and this year’s PGA Championship winner, Jimmy Walker.
