Rickie Fowler climbed the leaderboard at the Truist Championship, but the star began the week with a heartfelt gesture to his wife, Allison Stokke. The moment came days before Fowler could be seen wearing his signature orange during Sunday’s final round at the Truist Championship.
The Sunday orange is a fashion move Fowler has done since the start of his career on the PGA Tour as a nod to his alma mater Oklahoma State (the school’s colors are orange and black). Days earlier, Fowler surprised his wife with flowers as part of a community event the couple did at the Truist Championship.
The PGA Tour posted a video of Fowler and Stokke giving back to Charlotte area families. Fowler worked with kids on the putting green, while Stokke spent time with the moms for a spa day.
At the end of the event, the kids surprised the moms with flowers, and Fowler made sure his wife was not left out. Fowler presented Stokke with her own custom bouquet as well.
Here’s a look at the video that has fans buzzing over the sweet gesture.
