“She’s Very Clever”: With 23-Year Age Gap, Tommy Fleetwood’s Wife Clare Makes Himself Better, the Pro Once Explained
Behind every successful golfer is a supportive partner. For Tommy Fleetwood, that partner is his wife, Clare. She brings love, intelligence, and level-headedness to their relationship. Their 23-year age gap may raise eyebrows, but Fleetwood’s praise for his lovely wife suggests a deeper connection. In a revealing interview, Fleetwood shared Clare’s impact on his life. She’s his reality check and her calm presence helps him stay grounded and focused, even in tough times.
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. That’s what I feel like we have. And just that happiness side of things she brings that to me.” His words paint a picture of a deep and loving relationship; one that transcends their 23-year age gap and has become a cornerstone of his success.
The PGA Tour golfer values his family more than his golf career. As, he puts it, “If somebody said you can’t play golf ever again, but you have your family for life, that’s obviously what I would pick all the time.” He recognizes that his family is a more significant and enduring part of his life than his career as a golfer. Moreover, Clare’s presence and management skills help him stay grounded and focused on what truly matters.
