Aside from Tiger Woods’ Sunday red, nobody had created a signature look quite like Rickie Fowler’s all-orange attire, which commemorated his alma mater, Oklahoma State University. That signature style and his rise to his current stardom has coincided with a boom to Cobra-Puma Golf.

In 2012, Cobra-Puma Golf had already been formed for about two years and was still in the process of revitalizing its brand globally. Then came along Fowler, who agreed to sign a complete sponsorship deal with Cobra-Puma Golf. Fowler became the company’s lead spokesman, filled his bag with Cobra clubs and continued to sport his unique Puma attire on and off the course.

Every time Fowler played well in a tournament, Cobra-Puma Golf saw a drastic increase in sales. The company issued 500 limited edition orange shoes in honor of Fowler’s Sunday all-orange attire, and they sold out instantly. Later that year, Fowler finally broke through and got his first Tour victory at the 2012 Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Club.

Fowler already had a deal in place with Puma, when in 2009 — his rookie year — he signed a deal with the clothing company and made a big splash that season. In 2010, the hobbyist motor cross racer was named PGA Tour Rookie of the Year and was picked for the Ryder Cup. Fowler’s first professional win came in 2011 at the OneAsia Tour’s Kolon Korea Open. At this point, Fowler’s popularity had been skyrocketing among golf fans. His clothing style and aggressive play was catching the eyes of golf fans across the world.

All of Fowler’s success helped raise the profile of Cobra-Puma Golf. Cobra’s well-known equipment and Puma’s stylish apparel were a perfect match for one another. Its goal from the start was to be the most desirable golf brand by players of all abilities and styles. Prior to the merger, Cobra Golf was represented by the likes of Ian Poulter, Camilo Villegas and J.B. Holmes. But even though Cobra Golf had always produced premium golf equipment, it was never considered the fun or exciting brand that it is today. That all changed when Puma bought Cobra and Cobra-Puma Golf was formed.

Rickie Fowler won the Wells Fargo Championship in May 2012.

Fowler has capitalized on his popularity with other endorsements. He went on to sign a deal with Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts to appear in print, TV and online advertisements. Crowne, like Cobra-Puma Golf, was thrilled to not only leverage Fowler’s fun and colorful personality, but also his new-found star power. In 2013, Fowler joined Tiger Woods on the cover of the 2013 edition of the Tiger Woods PGA Tour video game. Fowler received this honor by winning a fan-voted online popularity contest. In essence, he had become the most popular player in the game besides Woods.

Through all this excitement and quick rise to fame, Fowler has remained humble and genuine. Part of Fowler’s popularity comes from his combination of an outgoing and non-traditional style with a grounded and relaxed demeanor. Cobra-Puma Golf could not be more thrilled about the influence Fowler has had on young golfers. It is almost guaranteed that whenever you see Fowler at a Tour event, you will also see a handful of kids dressed like him in all orange. Fowler has made it clear that he wishes to be a role model that parents allow their kids to look up to.

Fowler is a member of the “Golf Boys,” which is a music group that also includes Hunter Mahan, Bubba Watson and Ben Crane. He and his team are very connected in this age of social media, and Fowler currently has more than 450,000 followers on Twitter and over 100,000 “likes” on his Facebook page.

For the 23-year-old Fowler and Cobra-Puma Golf, this is only the beginning. It is evident that his marketability is through the roof and there seems to be no limits on what he can accomplish off the course. However, a golfer’s success off the course only manifests through his success on the course.

If Fowler’s game ever does take a turn for the worse, we might see his success off the course do the same. But for now, Fowler continues to shine and it seems as if he will for a very long time.
