The professional golfer tends to keep his personal life private, including his family. Still, Allison and Maya were featured in the second season of Netflix’s Full Swing, which captured the moment Rickie won the Rocket Mortgage Classic in July 2023 after a four-year gap between winning a PGA Tour event. Afterward, he thanked his wife and daughter for their support.
“I’ve always wanted to win having Maya around,” he said in the second episode of the season. “Just being able to have the videos and pictures in that moment, that will be a special one, and hopefully there will be plenty more and ones that she’ll remember.”
