Everyone needs someone special in their lives to help them push forward in achieving their dreams. It seems Tommy Fleetwood couldn’t agree more, all thanks to a number of special people in his life. Who are they, you ask? Well, the professional boasts a happy marriage with his wife Clare and his two stepkids, along with another child of their own.
Fleetwood has won a total of seven events on the DP World Tour. All those wins, however, would mean nothing had he not had the unconditional love and support that he gets from his family, both on and off the greens. Especially from his stepchildren, for whom he often caddies!
When did Tommy Fleetwood and Claire tie the knot?

The 33-year-old started dating Clare two years after she became his agent. Soon after, the couple went ahead and announced their engagement when Fleetwood won the 2017 Open de France. But the English star didn’t just welcome Claire into his life in December 2017 when she walked down the aisle, but also Oscar and Mo, the two children she had with her ex-husband Andy Craig, as his family.
My beautiful, amazing fiancé @ClareCraig thank you for everything. Looking after me in every way possible at home and at work! I love you!!x

The two brothers have a close-knit relationship with their stepfather. This is especially evident because they love golf and have been making a name for themselves in the sport. Interestingly, the two claimed victory at the second Pro-Am of the 2021 Dubai Moonlight Classic, alongside professional golfers Felicity Johnson and Abdulla Al Hashimi.
That’s not all; Fleetwood’s stepson, Oscar, even managed to emerge victorious at the FirstPoint USA Boy’s Strokeplay event at Abu Dhabi Golf Club’s National Course in September 2023 by scoring 68-69-75 over the three days of play. The cherry on top, though, is that his other stepson, Mo, tied for third place at the same event! Soon after, the youngster went on to secure a T2 finish in the net division for boys.
Fleetwood and Clare are undoubtedly proud of their two young athletes. And perhaps their own child, whom they welcomed into the world on September 29, 2017, is also a star in the making?

In 2017, Fleetwood, who was leading the Race to Dubai rankings, withdrew from the British Masters to stay with Clare for the birth of his first child, Franklin Fleetwood. “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,” confessed the Englishman later.

Tommy Fleetwood even went on to dub the entire experience as “the most beautiful and proud moment” of his entire life. They topped off their son’s birth with a wedding. The couple held their wedding on a beach in the Bahamas.
Regardless of how he plays on the greens, it’s clear that when Fleetwood heads home, he’s content!
