Dale Jr of golf. He Is the most commercialized golfer outside of Tiger and Phill with no major to his name outside the players championship. Jr was always a fan favorite because of his pedigree but never won a championship at the top level. Fowler has only won a handful of tournaments but is always towards the top half of the leaderboard but seems to be in a lot of sponsored commercials.

Dale Jr, or any driver, drives because a team pays him to drive. Not saying Dale Jr wasn't a legit driver - of course he was - but being Dale Jr was just about enough to get a job. Regarding owning a team, again, that is about sponsorship and being Dale Jr is enough.

Being Ricky Fowler gets him almost nothing. Finish outside the top 125 and you're gone, doesn't matter your name. The Korn Ferry Tour has a number of names anyone would otherwise recognize. Fowler could easily be one of them, and he knows it. Staying in the top 125 is dog-eat-dog hard, like trying to stay on an NFL roster with 1500 less spots available (1650 for the NFL, 125 for the Tour). As hard as getting on an NFL roster is, getting a Tour Card is at another level.

At the moment Fowler is ranked about 15th in the entire world, a little higher than that on the Tour. 7 billion people on the planet, he's #15 via proof of what he goes out and does right now. He's not Dale Jr.
