Tommy Fleetwood is finally a PGA Tour winner on one of the biggest stages and in classy fashion, Tiger Woods has reached out to the Englishman.
Woods is no stranger to winning, with more than 80 victories through his career.
However, for Tommy Fleetwood, the grind to get to just a single win has been one of the toughest things in his career and he’s finally got over the line at the Tour Championship.
Fleetwood kept his cool to win out by three shots as Patrick Cantlay failed to mount a charge and the likes of Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley faltered.
Now, in what is a massive confidence boost for Fleetwood and a sign of the respect he has, Tiger Woods has sent him a message.

In the modern game, Tiger Woods is very much the pillar who is looked up to among the rest of the world’s players.
Woods has done it all and in general, has a great relationship with most players on TOUR.
Now, in a show of class from Woods and a nod to the respect he has for Tommy Fleetwood, he’s taken to X to send a message to the Englishman.
With Fleetwood finally over the line on the PGA Tour now, it will be interesting to see if he can build and keep adding to the win column.
Indeed, with an endorsement from Woods and a number of players waiting for him off the green, it’s obvious Fleetwood’s win has gone down well.

Sometimes, it’s about getting the monkey off the back and simply relieving the pressure.
We saw with Rory McIlroy winning the Masters how the pressure instantly came off him and since then, he’s played with a freedom we’ve not seen for a while.
For Fleetwood now, the challenge will be to keep building and winning more events if he can.
With the pressure off and given his form in recent weeks, there’s a chance the Southport native goes to another level and adds more and more wins to his record.
Indeed, going into the Ryder Cup, the sight of Fleetwood winning is a huge boost for Luke Donald.
