Tommy Fleetwood’s No. 1 fan wasn’t present at his PGA Tour triumph.
When the golfer, 34, won the tournament — and $10 million — on Sunday, his 57-year-old wife, Clare Fleetwood, was noticeably absent from the celebrations.
Instead, the athlete was hugged on the green by pals and colleagues at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga., after winning the FedEx Cup.
Tommy’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The athlete noted in a post-win interview over the weekend that he is “always so lucky with the support [he] get[s]” from fans, saying it “makes [him] a bit emotional.”
He added, “I’m proud of what I’ve done … and where I’ve been so far knowing I’ve still got a way to go and a lot to learn.”
Tommy has competed in the PGA Tour 164 times since making his professional debut in 2010.
The Olympian met Clare in 2015 through his brother, who worked with her at Hambric Sports Management.
The couple welcomed their now 7-year-old son, Frankie, in September 2017 and tied the knot in the Bahamas three months later.
Clare, who is also the mother of two sons from a previous relationship, gave rare insight into their relationship — and 23-year age gap — in 2023.
While on the “Performance People” podcast, Clare recalled “of course” turning down her now-husband and saying, “Don’t be stupid.”
She felt “paranoid” about what others would think.
At the time, Tommy chimed in, “She just eventually gave in, I think, and thought, ‘I’ll just give him some time.’ … And then I didn’t mess up.”
He clarified to the Times that same year that while they do “definitely get comments,” their age difference has “never been a thing” to them.
“Clare actually looks very young for her age and I look old — it’s probably all that sun,” Tommy quipped. “She’s incredibly cool and I’m not cool at all, though I am quite mature for my age.”
The post Tommy Fleetwood’s wife, Clare, misses golfer’s first PGA Tour win amid backlash over their age gap appeared first on Page Six.
