SuperStroke Congratulates Rickie Fowler on His Playoff Victory at the Rocket Mortgage Classic


Six-time winner on the PGA Tour uses SuperStroke’s Zenergy Tour 3.0 17” putter grip in dramatic playoff win

(Wixom, MI) – SuperStroke, the No. 1 Putter Grip in golf and the leader in innovative Tour-proven golf grip technology, congratulates PGA Tour star Rickie Fowler on capturing his sixth-career PGA Tour victory at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. To secure his first win since the 2019 WM Phoenix Open, Fowler had to fire a final-round, four-under-par 68 and then sink a clutch 12-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a three-man sudden-death playoff. The action-packed win secured Fowler, a SuperStroke Zenergy 3.0 17” putter grip user, the $1.584 million winner’s purse and moved him inside the top 10 in the FedEx Cup Standings.

Fowler’s game has been trending in the right direction all season as he had amassed seven top-10 finishes (including two runner-up showings) before this cathartic victory. Fowler currently ranks 11th on the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained: Putting Average, and he gained 4.538 strokes on the field at the Rocket Mortgage (ranking 12th in the field in that stat category for the week).

“The entire SuperStroke team congratulates Rickie Fowler on an extraordinary performance at The Rocket Mortgage. It was a thrill to watch him play with confidence and freedom from tee to green and putt brilliantly all week. When he needed to be clutch with his SuperStroke Zenergy Tour 3.0 17” putter grip, he rose to every occasion,” says SuperStroke CEO Dean Dingman. “We knew great things were coming for Rickie and this could be just the beginning for him and an exciting run of successes. His putting looks natural and has become a great strength in his game.”

Fowler’s unique putter setup – with a 38-inch shaft for a counter-balancing effect and a SuperStroke Zenergy Tour 3.0 17” putter grip – has been making headlines and convincing golfers from various ranks to try a similar configuration. The SuperStroke Zenergy Tour 3.0 17” is currently sold out, but will be available again mid-July. Those interested in ordering one can join the waitlist on SuperStrokeUSA.com.

Three of the top-seven finishers in the field at the Rocket Mortgage Classic were using SuperStroke putter grips.

At 3.6 inches longer than the standard grip, the Zenergy Tour 3.0 17” – released as part of SuperStroke’s “Off the Truck” series of grips that have been developed with crucial input from tour professionals seeking feel, comfort, performance, and a competitive edge – offers golfers a range of unique benefits. Like any of SuperStroke's extended length grips, the Tour 3.0 17" can be used to achieve an armlock setup by positioning the grip up the forearm. Additionally, the Tour 3.0 17" grip can serve as a counterbalance option, extending the grip above the hands. This allows golfers to shift the weight above the hands and elevate the balance point of the putter, resulting in a more consistent stroke.

Available in White & Black and Red & Black options, the Zenergy Tour 3.0 17" Tour Series putter grip features SuperStroke’s traditional and most popular putter grip profile. The Tour Series parallel design has a uniform lower hand profile to minimize grip pressure and maintain putter head path for a more consistent stroke.

As part of Zenergy, SuperStroke’s latest line of putter grips featuring enhanced Spyne technology, the Zenergy Tour 3.0 17” Putter Grip features new multi-zone texturing, and our patented no-taper shape for unmatched confidence to quiet your hands – and your mind.

Features Include:  

- Enhanced Spyne™ Technology – The new Spyne™ Technology has an improved, embossed ridge along the underside of the grip, engineered to make it easier to square the face at impact.  

- New Multi-Zone Texturing – Strategically placed textured in high-sensory areas designed to optimize feedback and comfort from the incredibly soft polyurethane outer layer.  

Specifications:  

- Width: 1.23"

- Length: 17"

- Weight: 93g
