It's officially the summer of Rickie Fowler.
Just two weeks after positioning himself as a surprise contender at the U.S. Open, Fowler claimed his first PGA Tour victory since 2019 by winning the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Fowler beat out Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin in a playoff, the third time that Fowler has won a PGA Tour event in a playoff.
The win is incredibly meaningful to Fowler's career, which took a downturn after so much early success. The 34-year-old has made adjustments, found a new putter, and is on the rise yet again.

Sunday's victory also marks a well-earned payday for Fowler. Here's what you need to know about Fowler's payout and the full purse for the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
Rocket Mortgage Classic payout
The total purse for the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic is $8.8 million. Fowler comes away with $1.584 million, or 18 percent of the purse, for his win.
The purse was slightly increased from 2022's total of $8.4 million. Tony Finau earned $1.512 million for his victory last year.
The top 65 finishers at the Rocket Mortgage Classic receive a portion of the $8.8 million purse. $959,000 is allotted for the second-place finisher, while the third-place finisher receives $607,200. Because Hadwin and Morikawa finished tied for the second, they will both receive the average of the two figures.
The top 21 finishers all receive at least $100,000, while the top 34 finishers all receive at least $50,000.
