I know we had at least one person trolling on the Open thread about how Fowler is actually a jerk that no one likes. This seems to back that up.

More than motivation though, Fowler is one of the sweethearts of the PGA Tour. Jim “Bones” Mackay compared the 25-year-old to Steve Stricker for his ability to be universally liked by those on Tour. In Golf Digest’s comprehensive rankings of the nicest players on the PGA Tour–compiled by receiving input from the full array of sources involved with Tour events–Fowler finished T3 among the populace (Stricker placed first for the record).
And he’s a dedicated warrior to those who stake the most in his play: the fans. If there were a ranking on that front, he might finish second behind Phil Mickelson. He’s never afraid to sign autographs and is observed to possibly be the best among Tour players when it comes to his work at clinics.
He also goes the extra mile for sponsors, which helps explain why he so easily acquires them.
