Many golf enthusiasts admire Tommy Fleetwood for his humility and composure in intense situations. After nearly missing the 2025 Travelers Championship, the Englishman spoke openly to the media. Even after winning his first PGA Tour title at the 2025 FedExCup, he said, “Be a good person first.” A player known for his strong reputation faced accusations of gamesmanship after coming close to losing at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Championship. Sports journalist Andrew Coltart said, “Tommy is just slowing it all down, a little gamesmanship, clever. Making him wait, stew.” Finally, Fleetwood has opened up about the accusations at a media conference at the DP World Tour Championship. “I did see the comments, actually, just before. It’s one of those things, I don’t know — look, you don’t know in what context it was said. I didn’t hear it. I read it,” said Tommy Fleetwood. “I’m just saying from my point of view, I had just played with Aaron for 36 holes, we are unbelievably close and unbelievably supportive in each other in our careers. I was desperate for the toilet, and then as soon as I was finished, I ran to the tee and that was how it happened.” ADVERTISEMENT
