“Like Dustin, I’m close with Dustin or a few of the guys. It’s always nice to see them at the tournaments.
“Yeah, golf is a global game and I think it’s always nice to see some of those faces, whether they are familiar faces or faces that have been at the top of the game playing the tournaments.”

Fleetwood tends to avoid taking sides on controversial topics, focusing on what he can control.
He explained that he has never had any animosity towards the players who left the PGA Tour for LIV Golf.
“Yeah, it was interesting,” the Englishman added. “I look back at it, I was never one of those who had any bad blood in particular.
“I think another option to play golf came up, and some guys felt like they wanted to play over there. They wanted to do something different. I think that’s absolutely fine.”
