Tommy Fleetwood is famous for his cool personality on the golf course! He gave fans a glimpse of his home life, a year ago, and it was hilarious. In an episode of the Performance People podcast, Fleetwood revealed an amusing but significant fact about his wife, Clare Fleetwood, who is 23 years older than him. Clare’s remarks about her husband’s popularity and their routine made viewers see the couple’s life behind the curtain, revealing both Fleetwood’s professional charm and that of an ordinary family man.

In the podcast, Clare Fleetwood pointed out an interesting contrast. She said, “Yes and the thing that he’s got on his side that you know a lot of golfers don’t is that everybody loves him no matter what he does he’s so popular honestly he cannot do a thing wrong which is the more annoying thing for me.”This statement from Clare is a combination of affection and the typical complaints that come with being married to a celebrity.

The 33-year-old Tommy joined the professional golfers in 2010, and he has been awarded many times, including seven titles in the European Tour. However, Clare jokingly calls him the “golden child.”

It is a gentle message that even the most professional sportsman has a home life to come back to.
