Tommy Fleetwood’s Breakthrough Title Draws Star Support as Ryder Cup Reality Nears

After 164 PGA Tour starts without a win, the Englishman finally broke through at East Lake.

Overview

  • Fleetwood won the Tour Championship to claim his first PGA Tour title and the FedEx Cup, ending years of near-misses.
  • LeBron James, Caitlin Clark and Tiger Woods sent congratulations, and Fleetwood said the post‑win support was “ridiculous.”
  • On a podcast appearance, he was reminded that U.S. fans praising him now will back Team USA at Bethpage Black next month, which he accepted.
  • Former coach Norman Marshall said the victory could “open the floodgates,” though commentary pointed to Rory McIlroy’s post‑Masters dip as a caution.
  • Fleetwood noted future wins are uncertain, yet his Ryder Cup record of 7‑3‑2 underscores his reliability for Europe.
