Winning on the PGA Tour is hard. Look no further than Fleetwood, who has six runner-ups without a victory — including some painfully close calls this season.

Tommy Fleetwood knows what questions are coming. He answers them with grace. He even manages to crack a smile. The 34-year-old Englishman has been here before — he has a deep memory log of the rituals that come with a near-miss.

Following the St Jude disappointment the amiable Merseysider now has six top-five finishes this year and 29 on the US tour, making him comfortably the all-time leading earner without a PGA Tour title. His best performances in the Majors were runner-up slots at the 2018 US Open and the 2019 Open. He even won the silver medal at the Olympics in 2024.
