Following the Staggering Announcement, Jessica Korda and Rickie Fowler Get Together to Give a Sneak Peak Into the Revolutionary Venture
There were online discussions of launching a PGA Tour vs LIV Golf event last month. Fans expressed their excitement, but the topic lost its fire, and people forgot it. There may be plenty of time for that to happen. However, an Instagram post is creating a buzz online, and Rickie Fowler is part of it. The PGA Tour and the LPGA Tour are coming up with something truly extraordinary. Now the question is will it carry more importance than “The Match”?
Is Rickie Fowler the part of something big?
This year is bringing another great surprise for golf fans. The mixed golf team from the PGA Tour and the LPGA Tour players are coming together to compete. On Wednesday, the authorities of both Tours announced they would collaborate for the Grant Thornton Invitational on December 8-10 at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida. The event will have 32 golfers, with 16 men and 16 women. The teams will play for the prize money of $4 million across three days.
Following the announcement, the official Instagram handle of the event posted a video featuring LPGA Tour pro Jessica Korda and the PGA Tour star Rickie Fowler. A few days back, he was bar tendering with TaylorMade. Now, thankfully, he is back to his profession. In the video, both the pros can be seen discussing the team names for the upcoming event in December. However, one thing was clear, Korda and Fowler would pair together to win the event. Their conversation about team names was the highlight. Fowler discussed options, but Korda declined, saying, “I know where you’re going with this, Rickie. Our team color is not gonna be orange.” The pro golfers’ reply was even more funny when he said, “but you look amazing in orange.”
