2011

In July2011,Fowler tied the 54-hole lead at theAT&T National,but an early double bogey on Sunday derailed his opportunity for his first PGA Tour win. Two weeks later Fowler finished tied for 5th inThe Open ChampionshipatRoyal St George's.[18]In August, Fowler finished in a tie for second at theWGC-Bridgestone Invitationalbehind winnerAdam Scott,lifting him to 28 in the world rankings.[19]

At thePGA Championship,Fowler carded 74-69-75-68 to finish with a six-over par total of 286, in a tie for 51st place. Early on the third day Fowler rocketed up the leaderboard with three birdies in the first five holes only to falter later in the round with two triple bogeys, effectively ending his hopes of a first major championship and PGA Tour win.[20]

At the firstFedEx Cupplayoff event, Fowler finished T52 atThe Barclaysin the last week in August. The following week he again finished T52 at theDeutsche Bank Championship,the second FedEx Cup playoff event, after carding a disappointing six-over par final round 77. At that point Fowler was positioned 37 in the FedEx Cup points standings and required a strong performance at theBMW Championshipto qualify in the top thirty forThe Tour Championship;a performance which eluded him, finishing in 48th place. In finishing 43rd in the FedEx Cup, Fowler earned a $132,000 bonus.[21]

In October, Fowler enjoyed his first professional win with victory in theOneAsia Tour'sKolon Korea Open,securing a six-shot victory overRory McIlroy.

After a tie for fifth at theMastersin April, Fowler had his best finish of2014at theU.S. OpenatPinehurst No. 2in North Carolina.

At the next major in August, thePGA Championship,Fowler,Phil Mickelson,Henrik Stenson,and McIlroy battled for the title on a rain-soakedValhalla Golf Club,nearLouisville.Despite holding the lead for a good portion of the day, Fowler tied for third. He was only the third player, along withJack NicklausandTiger Woods,to have finished in the top 5 in all four majors in one calendar year, but the first not to win (Jordan Spiethbecame the fourth player in 2015). Fowler had 10 top-10 finishes during the 2013–14 season. His 8th-place finish atThe Tour Championshipmoved him to 10th in the world golf rankings.[25]

After a T-12 finish at theMasters,Fowler earned his first win in over three years with a playoff victory atThe Players Championshipin May. TrailingSergio Garcíamidway through the final round by five shots, Fowler played the final six holes in 6-under par, including an eagle at the par-5 16th. After a birdie at the 17th hole, Fowler's final birdie of the round on 18 left him at 12-under par. Both García andKevin Kisnerhad birdie attempts to win at the 18th in regulation, but both missed and the three men went to a three-hole aggregate playoff to decide a winner on holes 16–18. Fowler and Kisner went par-birdie-par to tie at −1 while García's three pars left him at even and he was eliminated. Thus Fowler and Kisner went to sudden death starting at the 17th, where Kisner's tee shot landed within about 12 feet (3.7 m) of the cup. Fowler's tee shot finished inside of five feet, and when Kisner's birdie attempt slid by, Fowler responded by making his short birdie to claim the championship. Fowler played his final 10 holes in 8-under par.[26]On July 12, he won theAberdeen Asset Management Scottish Openon theEuropean Tour,shooting a 12-under-par 268.

In June, Fowler announced that he would not defend his Scottish Open title at Castle Stuart, citing the tight schedule due to golf's return to the Olympic Games as the main reason.[30]At the 2016 Olympics, he came in 37th place.[31]

At the firstFedEx Cupplayoff event of the season,The Barclays,Fowler went into the final round leading the event by one stroke. He endured a difficult final round, shooting a two-over-par 74. His challenge was ended with a double-bogey at the 16th hole that put him four strokes behind playing partnerPatrick Reed.He went on to finish T7, three strokes behind the winner Reed. As a result of this, Fowler also failed to secure his automaticRyder Cupspot, which he would have done with a top-three finish. Fowler moved up from 28th to 16th in the FedEx Cup standings with this result.

At the 2018Waste Management Phoenix Open,Fowler birdied his final three holes during the third round to take the 54-hole lead by a stroke. This was his 6th 54-hole lead/co-lead of his career but had only converted once in the previous five attempts. In the final round, Fowler shot a 72 (+2) to finish T11.[34]
