Last year, Tommy Fleetwood and Clare Fleetwood appeared on the YouTube channel Performance People, where he shared his heartfelt thoughts on his wife’s impact on his life and golf career. He credited Clare for being his rock, saying, “I tell the kids, my best piece of advice for life is finding a great woman. I still believe that’s the best advice you can give anyone.” The 33-year-old revealed that his wife’s influence helps him maintain a healthy perspective, especially during tough times on the course.

Fleetwood also praised Clare’s intelligence and ability to make sound judgments, often bringing a much-needed reality check to his life. “She’s very clever, and she judges situations a lot better than I do when I’m playing all the time,” he said. “I’m hoping that she loves me.
