When Rickie Fowler steps onto the course this week in Florida, he’ll be wearing something he helped design.
The 32-year-old PUMA ambassador, who will play in the Players Championship, has partnered with the brand and Kygo’s Palm Tree Crew for a new collection of golf apparel and gear.
“I’ve known Kygo, Austin, and Myles and been part of the Palm Tree Crew for a while now,” Fowler tells PEOPLE. “PUMA Golf has supported me since I turned pro and it was really exciting to bring these two worlds together, to create this cool collection.”
“The collection turned out really great,” he says. “I’m excited for golfers everywhere to enjoy this gear that we worked hard on. It’s stylish, comfortable and looks really cool on the course. What more could you want?”

And comfort is key for Fowler, who says he plays “better when I’m comfortable with what I’m wearing both from a fit, fabrication, function and style. I have always subscribed to the mantra ‘look good, feel good, play good!’ "
And playing good is certainly on his mind as he faces down the Players Championship. His 2021 goal is to “keep improving on the course.”
