After 159 attempts, Tommy Fleetwood is still without a trophy on the PGA Tour. The man who has dominated the European circuit with seven DP World Tour wins has often come close to grabbing a victory in the American League but has missed out: 6 runner-ups and 42 top-10s after 135 cuts. And he might have to wait longer to taste success because his latest efforts at TPC River Highlands, where he went into the final round with a 3-stroke lead, also turned into a loss. “I’m upset now, I’m angry,” he said, after a tough loss in the 2025 Travelers Championship.

“Right now I would love to, you know, just go and sulk somewhere, and maybe I will do, but there’s just no point making it a negative for the future, really, just take the positives and move on,” he added but the harsh failure was overshadowed by the beautiful moment he shared with his family! As posted by the PGA Tour’s Instagram account, Fleetwood could be seen embracing his son, Franklin, and wife, Clare, soon after completing the last round. The long hug must be all he needed to find some peace after the disappointment on the course.

In fact, during a press conference on Saturday, the golfer gushed about how much he likes it when his family attends events with him. As per his confession, they are his “biggest supporters” and absolutely love watching him play. That’s a big thing to say at the Travelers Championship—an event which is known for building an ethos perfect for families, with facilities like babysitting, children’s activities, and social events like Family Night Wiffle Ball.

For Fleetwood, Clare has been a big support system since 2017 when they got married. However, she was initially his manager (2015) before their romantic relationship while working at Hambric Sports Management, and the golfer has credited her for his success. Last year, Fleetwood revealed how his wife keeps him calm and grounded. “She judges situations better than you do when you’re playing all the time and you’re so single-minded on what you do and that you don’t look outside the box.” But did you know she turned down the golfer several times before they began dating?

“We’ve got a 23-year age difference. Of course, I turned him down. I was like, ‘Don’t be stupid’,” Clare recalled to the Performance People podcast last year. But Fleetwood was persistent until Clare was willing to see where it would lead them. Well, it culminated with them getting engaged in 2017, and eventually, the couple tied the knot.

While Fleetwood’s exact plans for his next challenge might still not be clear to the world, based on what he said during his interaction with the media, it seems that he has narrowed down the issues and will start working on them soon.

What is Tommy Fleetwood planning to do next?

Perhaps after a bit of sulking, the golfer plans to get back on track. “I would have loved to have done it today, search goes on, I guess. When it happens, it will be very, very sweet. I don’t know, really. I said yesterday, and I know I keep saying it but I haven’t really been in a position where I’ve really been in contention to really worry about when my win might come. Today was one of those days, led for 71 holes and it didn’t happen. But, you know, like in my mind, yeah, I’ve won loads of PGA TOUR events, I just haven’t done it in reality and I’m sure that time will come if I keep working.”

So he won’t let the loss drag him down. Interestingly, Fleetwood resorted to the same approach after his 2023 RBC Canadian Open loss as well. He started a great run by finishing T5 in the U.S. Open a week later. In the six tournaments that followed, the Englishman had 4 top-10s, another top-25, and 1 missed cut.

Considering his form this year and his plans for the next few events, fans might get to see Tommy Fleetwood break the curse and grab his first PGA Tour win soon. The only thing we can confirm is that it won’t be next week. That’s because he is not in the field for the 2025 Rocket Classic in Detroit. Do you think Fleetwood will taste victory soon?
