Fleetwood on 22-year age gap with wife Clare: "Oh, we DEFINITELY get comments!"
Tommy Fleetwood has spoken of the 22-year age gap he shares with his wife Clare, the LIV Golf League and the death of his mother.
Tommy Fleetwood says it's "never been a thing to us" when people question the 22-year age gap he shares with his wife Clare.
In an interview with Julia Llewellyn Smith of The Times of London, the Englishman has spoken on a number of topics.
Those included how he met his wife and manager, being a parent, returning to form, the LIV Golf League and the recent, crushing death of his mother.
Fleetwood, 32, said he would "much rather everyone be happy" than everyone getting involved in litigation, adding: "It's silly".
