Tommy Fleetwood becomes first player to earn $25m without tasting PGA Tour glory
The Englishman has yet to secure his breakthrough win on the PGA Tour
Having picked up a cool $418,750 at the Players Championship, Dubai-based star Tommy Fleetwood has become the first player in PGA Tour history to surpass $25M in on-course earnings without winning an event.
The Englishman, who has claimed seven titles on the DP World Tour - including a January 2024 victory at the Dubai Invitational - has yet to secure his breakthrough win on the PGA Tour. His closest attempt came at the 2023 Canadian Open, where he fell short in a playoff against Nick Taylor.
Fleetwood’s recent performances, however, showcase his consistency. A top-15 finish at TPC Sawgrass marked his third consecutive strong showing, following a tie for fifth at the Genesis Invitational and an 11th-place result at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Currently ranked ninth in the world, Fleetwood heads into this week’s Valspar Championship as the second-highest-ranked player in the field, trailing only world No. 3 Xander Schauffele.
Fleetwood told the Sky Sports Golf Podcast: "You can't really be complaining too much finishing where I'm finishing.
"I'm really happy with the consistency that I'm showing at the moment. I just have to find that little bit more out of my game and my scoring to find myself in contention at the right time.
"Hopefully I can continue to play the way I am and just play the waiting game, keep pushing and we'll find ourselves up there when that time comes."
