Men's Pro Golf: Has the "Big Three" Become the "Big Four"?

Here at the Pro Golf Tour we have written extensively about the emergence of a new "Big Three" in men's golf ... Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy and Jason Day. Any of these three are battle-tested and worthy of the #1 spot in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Rickie Fowler has reached unprecedented Official World Golf Ranking heights following his victory in Abu Dhabi.  Fowler jumped two spots to No. 4 in the latest standings after he finished one shot clear of an elite field in the desert, his fourth worldwide victory since May. Fowler had reached No. 5 in the rankings a number of times in recent months, notably after his win at the Scottish Open, but this marks his highest career ranking. Thomas Pieters finished alone in second behind Fowler in Abu Dhabi, and as a result the young Belgian vaulted 30 positions to No. 58 while Branden Grace moved to the cusp of the top 10, now ranked No. 11 after his T-5 finish. By the end of the 2015-2016 season could we in fact see a new "Big Four" in men's golf - Spieth, McIlroy, Day ... and Fowler? Share your thoughts with the Pro Golf Tour.
