‘Rickie Fowler Vibes’: US Fans in Frenzy as Rival’s ‘Only Single Guy’ Moment Goes Viral a Day Ahead of Real Showdown

Golf fans are buzzing ahead of the Presidents Cup, particularly over Tom Kim’s playful homage to a famous moment from Rickie Fowler. During a team photoshoot in Montreal, the South Korean golfer stood out as the only single player, much like Fowler did back in 2016.

Kim, posing alongside married teammates and their wives, joked, “I’m the only single guy here,” echoing a viral tradition Fowler started years ago. This lighthearted moment, reminiscent of Fowler’s solo shrug during the Ryder Cup, has sparked excitement among fans, with some dubbing Kim the “International Rickie Fowler.”

As golf continues to embrace these viral moments, Tom Kim’s status as a single player has taken on a playful narrative, much like Fowler’s in previous competitions. Fowler’s 2016 moment, when he was the lone single player amidst teammates and their partners, became a fan-favorite moment.

Now, with Kim being just 22 years old and showing early promise on the PGA Tour, fans are speculating if he will continue the tradition and shine in this year’s showdown. For now, Kim seems to be “married to the game,” leaving fans eager to see if he will have his own iconic victory photo—possibly surrounded by his teammates’ wives like Viktor Hovland last year.
