Charles Schwab Challenge Par Scores
- Rickie Fowler engaged in a rules dispute over relief at the 14th hole during the first round of the 2025 Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club on May 22, 2025.
- The dispute arose because Fowler's ball rested an inch from an out-of-bounds fence near a cart path, and officials denied his request for penalty-free relief from the path.
- After discussing the situation with two rules officials and awaiting further clarification, Fowler chose to attempt the challenging shot right next to the fence and ultimately made a bogey five on the par-4 hole.
- Fowler joked, “So if I hit and pull it off, do I get like a shot off?” while caddie Ricky Romano argued for relief, stating, “If you're going to hit it, you should get relief.”
- The incident sparked immediate social media backlash, highlighting a growing divide between PGA Tour officials and golf fans, with Fowler finishing the round at even-par 70 and set to play the Memorial Tournament starting May 26.
