Rickie Fowler, wife Allison announce baby No. 2 arriving this summer

The Fowler foursome is on its way, as Rickie Fowler and his wife, Allison, are preparing to welcome their second child this summer. Rickie Fowler announced the exciting news on Instagram, sharing that their new addition is expected to arrive on August 4th. This will be a special milestone for the Fowlers, who already have a 2-year-old daughter, Maya, born on November 18, 2021.

 

In his Instagram post, Fowler shared a joyful update with his followers, stating, “Maya with shoes ready for her baby sister…we’re excited to be a foursome later this summer!” The post included a heartwarming photo of the family, with Rickie, Allison, and Maya all dressed in matching white caddie jumpsuits, presumably inspired by the Masters, adding a touch of golf-themed charm to their announcement.

 

Maya Fowler has already made a memorable impression on the golf world. At last week’s Masters Par 3 Contest, she stole the spotlight, alongside Jordan Spieth’s son, Sammy. The two young friends were seen playing on the fairways and getting acquainted with the bunker rake, a potential sign of future caddying aspirations. The presence of Maya and Sammy added a special touch to the event, and Fowler himself was able to enjoy the day in a unique way. He went on to win the Par 3 Contest, further amplifying the feel-good atmosphere of the day.

 

Reflecting on the experience, Fowler noted, “Been around plenty of the little kids over the years, but a little different when we have our own out there. So special way for us first time having my daughter with my wife and I, and something we’ll always have.” This sentiment underscores the deep significance of sharing these moments with his family.

 

Maya and Sammy share a close bond, having been born just four days apart, and they have become “basically best friends,” according to Fowler. This friendship made the Masters Par 3 Contest even more memorable for him. Fowler highlighted that, for him, witnessing his daughter spend time with a friend was even more rewarding than winning the event itself.

 

The Fowlers will also have another natural playmate for their second child, as Scottie Scheffler and his wife, Meredith, are expecting their first child in the coming weeks. This new addition will provide Maya with another companion to grow up with, enhancing the sense of camaraderie and shared experiences among their young children.

 

Last summer, Fowler ended a four-year winless streak with a victory at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. This triumph was particularly meaningful as it marked his first TOUR title since becoming a father. The victory allowed Fowler to celebrate with Maya, creating cherished memories that he will treasure. Reflecting on the win, Fowler remarked, “To finally get one finished off, Maya may or may not really ever remember it, but at least we’ll have some special images to help her remember today.”

 

Looking ahead, Fowler and his family are excited for their future as a family of four. With another child on the way, the Fowlers are poised to embrace this new chapter in their lives, filled with both personal and professional milestones. As Rickie continues to pursue his career on the TOUR, the support and joy of his growing family will undoubtedly play a significant role in his journey.
