After Another Letdown, Tommy Fleetwood Finally Receives a Unique $20 Million PGA Tour Title but Still Remains Crownless

One of the latest uproars in the golf arena concerns the recently concluded FedEx St. Jude Championship. While the American greens were effortlessly dominated by 43-year-old Lucas Glover, there were other eminent players who presented their skills with class and precision. One such golf star is English trailblazer Tommy Fleetwood.

While his putts and drives on the greens were exceptional, it was sadly not enough to win the title itself. However, it was another feat that gained everyone’s respect for the golfer. With that, let’s take a look at the astonishing $20 million achievement and the recent performance of ‘Fairway Jesus’!

Tommy Fleetwood manages to claim a unique PGA Tour laurel

Till now, Fleetwood has had a fantastic season with numerous top-10 finishes across various events. However, his accurate gameplay still hasn’t been bestowed with a title on the PGA Tour. While his skills in several tournaments have allowed the golfer to reach close to claiming a victory, the final rounds have dragged him back from the victory.

A similar situation was encountered by the golf star last weekend in Memphis. Consequently, the professional couldn’t cross the finish line and take home the title. Thus, he finished the tournament at T3 along with four-time major champion Rory McIlroy at 14-under-par. Thanks to his eminent presence on the greens, the Fleetwood pouched $1.16 million for his efforts.

Now, this amount would not have been the highlight for the professional had it not been for the astonishing feat that was tagged along with it. Despite the disappointment in the form of a near win, Fleetwood has now accumulated over $20 million after his finish at the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Courtesy of his recent performances, Golf Digest, on its social media handle, posted the interesting stat. Fleetwood became the first player in PGA Tour history to achieve more than $20 million in total earnings without a single victory. Additionally, he has had a mind-blowing twenty-two top-5 finishes.

Amidst the win-loss talks, Fleetwood appears hopeful of a near victory in the upcoming tournaments. Acknowledging his great stroke-play, he emphasized the subsequent victory as well.

Despite the fluctuating 2023 season, Fleetwood stays positive

The year 2023 has been a time of constant ebb and flow for Fleetwood. While the T3 position on the FedEx St. Jude Championship would have been disappointing for the golfer, it certainly was not the first time the Englishman choked toward the end of a tournament. Most of the preceding tournaments of the year saw the 32-year-old displaying exceptional skills on the greens.

Yet, he is still left to claim a title beside his name despite the astonishingly consistent performances. However, in a recent interview post the T3 finish at TPC Southwind, the English golfer revealed his positive mindset. He acknowledged the frustration that these almost wins tend to cause, yet felt it was better this way.

For him, these near misses have allowed him to better appreciate all the efforts he has put into his game. Furthermore, he remains hopeful that his encouraging performances will eventually translate into a victory in the upcoming tournaments. With that, when do you think Fleetwood will break his elusive duck on the PGA Tour? Let us know in the comments below.
