The seven-time European Tour winner Tommy Fleetwood hails from Southport, England. He has captured the hearts of fans worldwide with his exceptional talent on the green, and for the perfect family man that he is. 

Beyond his golfing prowess, his personal life, particularly his relationship with his agent-turned-wife, Clare, has also piqued public interest. One of the most frequently asked questions about the couple is the size of their family.

The Fleetwood family’s youngest: Franklin

On Sept. 28, 2017, Tommy and Clare welcomed their son, Franklin Fleetwood, into their family. You may remember him, after all, at the age of four, little Franklin went viral. The youngest member of the family, Franklin Fleetwood, captured the world’s heart with his infectious energy and adorable antics at the 2022 Par 3 Contest before the Masters Tournament. Dressed in a miniature caddie outfit, the young boy sprinted enthusiastically between the tee and green, winning over spectators with his charming personality. It seems like golf runs in the family!

Tommy, the family man he is, withdrew from the British Masters in 2017 to take care of his wife Clare during the birth of Franklin. After the tournament, the Brit said, “I wanted to give myself every chance of playing this week, but being there at the birth of your child is a special moment in anyone’s life, and I would not want to miss it.” After the birth of his son, Fleetwood even took to social media to express his joy.“The most beautiful and proud moment,” he wrote. Franklin was the 3rd child in Clare and Tommy’s marriage.

Gifts of marriage: Oscar Craig and Mo Craig

Clare Craig has 2 sons from a previous marriage with Andy Craig. Oscar and Mo were born in the early 2000s and have seamlessly integrated into the Fleetwood family. Both boys share a strong bond with their stepfather, Tommy, as all three share a love for golf. The golfing prowess of the Craig brothers is undeniable. They’ve made significant strides in the sport, showcasing their talent on the course. A highlight of their young careers was their joint victory at the second Pro-Am of the 2021 Dubai Moonlight Classic, alongside professional golfers.

Oscar has continued to excel, winning the FirstPoint USA Boy’s Strokeplay event at Abu Dhabi Golf Club. His brother, Mo, wasn’t far behind, securing a commendable third-place finish in the same competition. Both the Craig brothers are set on the path of glory. And undoubtedly Tommy and Clare are proud of them.

In the Barstool Sports podcast, Fore Play Fleetwood even talked about his relationship with Mo and Oscar. “I don’t really, I never really think of them as step-kids. I’ve been around them a long time now. Particularly Mo, I think I’ve been a, I guess, parental figure to Mo since he was five,” he said. “I’m unbelievably lucky with the relationship that we have. We’re so close. When the five of us are together, that’s always our safe space and I hope we always keep that.”

The lovely family of five is undoubtedly more than happy together. Had it not been for Tommy and Clare meeting nearly a decade ago, the gold world may not have witnessed this wholesome family.
