Who is Tommy Fleetwood married to? All about his wife and manager Clare
Who is Tommy Fleetwood's wife? Here is everything you need to know about the woman the PGA Tour golfer and European Ryder Cup star married in December 2017.
PGA Tour golfer and European Ryder Cup star Tommy Fleetwood is married to Clare Craig.
They first met in 2015 when, in her role as a sports agent, she became the golfer's manager.
Tommy and Clare got engaged in mid-2017 and tied the knot in an intimate beach ceremony in the Bahamas.
The golfer's best man was his long-time caddie and close friend Ian Finnis.
Their son Franklin - who always melts hearts at the annual Masters Par 3 Contest - was born in September that year, a few months after they said 'I do'.
Tommy is also the step-father to Clare's two sons, Oscar and Mo, from her first marriage.
Oscar is also an aspiring professional golfer and had Tommy caddie for him during a Challenge Tour event in May 2024.
Tommy said that was one of the highlights of his career.
To this day, Clare still supports Tommy as his manager and is frequently spotted supporting her husband outside the ropes.
Tommy, of course, travels the globe but his primary residence is in Dubai where his children go to school.
Tommy Fleetwood on 22-year age gap with Clare
Tommy previously has touched on the subject of the 22-year age gap he shares with Clare in an interview with The Times of London.
He told that paper it has 'never been a thing to us', adding: "Oh, we definitely get comments. But it's never been a thing to us.
"Clare actually looks very young for her age and I look old — it's probably all that sun. She's incredibly cool and I'm not cool at all, though I am quite mature for my age."
He added that if the roles were reversed 'nobody would bat an eyelid'.
"I wasn't going to find anybody I'd trust"
Tommy also told the paper they initially planned to find a different agent and keep their work life and personal lives separate.
"But it became more apparent I wasn't going to find anybody I'd trust as much because, after all, Clare is a very, very, very good agent by trade," he said.
"It wasn't like she was my wife just helping the family out.
Clare supported Tommy through tragedy
Very sadly, Tommy's mother Sue passed away aged 60 in July 2022, two years after she was diagnosed with cancer.
Her death came days after Tommy competed in the landmark 150th Open at St Andrews.
He kept the news secret and took an extended break from the game following her passing.
"Mum was far too young to go and I was far too young to lose a parent," he told the paper. "She was the only person, apart from Clare, who texted me every day.
"She's been poorly for a decent stretch of time - two or three years in an out of hospital on and off chemo - so I'd already been mourning in my own way, but obviously you never expect someone to die.
"Going through something as painful as this definitely makes you more tender to other people, but you deal with the hand you've been dealt and become a better person from it."
He added: "My parents always travelled with me, so people were always asking why she wasn't on the Tour and saying, 'How's your mum and dad?'
"But I didn't want to say, 'Actually, she has cancer, she's really struggling', because that would stop them in their tracks and they wouldn't know how to answer and I didn't want to ruin anybody's day.
"I'd never want anyone to feel they had to console me when they might be dealing with their own stuff.
"Plus, I didn't know if my mum and dad wanted people to know, so it was just best to keep it quiet.
"When you lose someone you just need to remember them in the right way and then enjoy the time with the people who are still here.
"It's all brought me even closer to Clare."
