Rickie Fowler’s Fitness Training and Weekly Workout

Every day is “go time” for Rickie Fowler.

Whether he’s ripping it at his target on the golf course or killing it in the gym six days a week, he prepares and trains for moments like Sunday.

“Rickie doesn’t miss workouts,” said Fowler’s strength and conditioning coach Chris Noss. “He’s an athlete. He takes it very seriously.”

Noss, who’s worked with Fowler since the Oklahoma State phenom turned professional, has helped take his young gun client to new fitness levels. A 13-year veteran trainer on Tour, Noss has a gaggle of Tour players under his guidance from former Masters winner Zach Johnson to Brian Gay to Camilo Villegas to former British Open Champion Stewart Cink.
