Rickie Fowler is scheduled to tee it up on Thursday morning at TPC Twin Cities, but questions about his health linger after a mid-tournament withdrawal just days ago. He discussed an illness and how he was questionable to participate in the Twin Cities.
All eyes are on Minnesota, where he’s grouped with Tony Finau and Taylor Pendrith. Fowler is scheduled to begin his opening round at 8:29 a.m. ET, then follow with an afternoon tee time Friday at 1:54 p.m. ET. The 3M Open is one of the final chances to rack up FedEx Cup points before the playoffs begin.

Fowler, 36, has had an up-and-down season marked by bouts of strong play and frustrating inconsistency. Though still a fan favorite and one of golf’s most recognizable faces, his recent form and health concerns make his 3M Open status a major storyline.
Whether he can shake off the illness and find momentum late in the season remains to be seen. But with the regular season clock winding down, there’s little time left for misfires.
