Rickie Fowler’s first few weeks as a newlywed didn’t exactly go as planned.

The 30-year-old golfer, who married girlfriend Allison Stokke last month, contracted a bacterial infection at the end of his honeymoon.

“It was not a fun stretch,” Fowler told Golfweek of his condition, Campylobacter jejuni, which includes symptoms typically associated with food poisoning, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Fowler and Stokke were married in Mexico and their honeymoon included trips to remote beaches.

Though Fowler started to feel better last week, he pulled out of the Mayakoba Golf Classic in Mexico.

Fortunately for Fowler, he has Stokke, also 30, to keep him company. They tied the knot on Oct. 5.
