Good for him. Could be a great story -- he hasn't won since early 2019 and dropped as low as #185 in the world rankings. According to this piece, he remained patient and showed maturity in dealing with his slump.
It was a confluence of miseries of the type that would have many of his peers making fools of themselves—club-throwing tantrums, snapping at a luckless caddie, blanking fans, stiff-arming media and generally adopting a ‘woe is me’ disposition more befitting a raft-riding refugee than a golfer bouncing around on a private jet. But Fowler didn’t do any of those things. He remained unfailingly professional and courteous. He put his head down and kept grinding.
He reconnected with his old coach, Butch Harmon, who is as much psych-svengali as swing guru. “Butch is great, just his voice and having him in your corner,” Fowler said Thursday. “Just telling you something to give you a little confidence to go out there and just go play golf and keep it simple.”

Yea, no doubt. Really shows that composure and patience on the course. A very well-liked player and for good reason.
