| Rickie Fowler | 23 | +450 | Feb. 2019 | NA |
Fowler has fallen to 23rd in the Official World Golf Ranking this year after closing out 2018 at No. 11. Still, his major odds remain among the world's elite due to his status as a public favorite in the U.S. and worldwide. He has the same odds as Justin Thomas, and I greatly prefer the latter.

Where is Rickie Fowler's best chance of winning a major in 2020?
| Event | 2020 Venue | Best career result | Odds |
| Masters | Augusta National | 2nd (2018) | +2000 |
| PGA Championship | TPC Harding Park | T-3 (2014) | +2200 |

Fowler had an incredible run of major success in 2014 which also included a T-5 at the Masters. Since then, has competed in 20 majors with three missed cuts and five top 10s. He has three career top 10s at both The Open and the US Open, but it's the Masters where his best major result of a solo runner-up occurred in 2018.
The Open Championship returns to Royal St. George's this year, where Fowler claimed a T-5 in 2011.
Will Rickie Fowler win a major in 2020?
Fowler's always in the hunt at the majors, but at +450 odds, it just isn't worth the venture. There are several better golfers available with more appealing odds. If you want action on Fowler, bet him at The Open.
