After years of near misses and relentless effort, Tommy Fleetwood finally broke new ground at the 2025 Tour Championship in Atlanta, scoring his first-ever PGA Tour victory. In his 164th PGA Tour start, Fleetwood posted an 18-under-par total, finishing three strokes clear of his closest competitors, Patrick Cantlay and Russell Henley. This win also secured him the prestigious FedEx Cup and a historic $10 million prize, marking a milestone long anticipated by fans and commentators.Fleetwood had accumulated an impressive 29 top-five finishes on the PGA Tour without a win — the highest total in 40 years by any player yet to claim a title. His consistent presence near the top of leaderboards proved his status as one of golf’s elite, even before sealing this landmark breakthrough.The victory came after a tense final round, where Fleetwood recovered from a bogey at the fifth hole with back-to-back birdies at the sixth and seventh. He capitalized on mistakes by rivals, notably Cantlay’s bogey and double bogey on early holes. Despite a bogey on the challenging 15th hole, Fleetwood maintained composure to close with a steady 68 and secure the win.Fleetwood himself had expressed confidence during the week: “I’ll finish it off at some point. I’ll get it right and I’ll get it right more than once,” reported Golf. His words proved prophetic in this breakout performance.Career highlights and consistencyBeyond the 2025 Tour Championship, Fleetwood has built an impressive résumé. He boasts 10 professional wins, including seven European Tour titles. He has twice come tantalizingly close to major championships, finishing runner-up at both the 2018 U.S. Open and the 2019 Open Championship, and tied for third at the 2024 Masters.Live EventsThroughout his career, Fleetwood has demonstrated remarkable consistency, with over 40 top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour, including a streak of 12 consecutive cuts made spanning from the 2017 U.S. Open to the 2020 PGA Championship. His style, combining steady ball-striking with strong mental discipline, has made him a perennial threat at major events and Rolex Series tournaments.Net worthFleetwood’s career earnings on the PGA Tour surpassed $31 million even before his 2025 Tour Championship win, with European Tour prize money exceeding €30 million (approximately $35 million). His net worth is estimated between £18 million and £23.3 million ($22 million to $29 million), bolstered extensively by endorsement deals.His sponsors include global giants such as Nike, TaylorMade, TAG Heuer, BMW, and the global logistics company DP World, partnering to elevate his profile and provide additional financial stability beyond tournament winnings.The woman behind the player: Clare CraigIntegral to Fleetwood’s success is his wife and agent, Clare Craig. Meeting in 2015 through Tommy’s brother Joe, Clare initially managed his career while maintaining professional boundaries. Despite their 23-year age gap, their relationship blossomed from agent-player to lifelong partners.Clare was initially cautious about their relationship due to the age difference, recalling telling Tommy, “Don’t be stupid,” before they grew closer through spending time together. They married in 2017 in the Bahamas and have since blended a strong personal and professional partnership. Clare’s supportive role extends beyond management; she provides emotional stability and practical guidance, often described by Fleetwood as his ‘calming side’.The couple has a son named Franklin, and Clare also has two sons from a previous relationship, both aspiring golfers. Clare’s involvement in Fleetwood’s career is evident in her constant presence at tournaments and her strategic handling of his affairs. Tommy credits her as a major factor in his ability to stay focused and successful under pressure.Philanthropy and communityOff the course, Fleetwood supports charitable causes including the Golf Foundation’s “Unleash Your Drive in Schools” program, promoting life skills and mental well-being for children. He also remains engaged with his hometown of Southport, contributing to community rebuilding efforts after social disturbances.(You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel)
