Fleetwood's Major Quest: Can He Break Through?
11 Apr
Summary
- Fleetwood has never won a major championship in his career.
- He has achieved runner-up finishes in the U.S. Open and Open Championship.
- Fleetwood secured his first PGA Tour win at the 2025 Tour Championship.
Tommy Fleetwood, a consistent presence on major championship leaderboards, is still aiming for his first major title. Despite near-misses, including two runner-up finishes in the U.S. Open and the Open Championship, and seven top-five finishes across all majors, the breakthrough win has eluded the English golfer. His best Masters performance was a third-place finish in 2024.
Fleetwood's career received a major boost in August 2025 when he captured his first PGA Tour victory at the Tour Championship, triumphing by three strokes. He also boasts eight wins on the European Tour. These recent successes fuel his ambition to join the ranks of major champions, drawing inspiration from golfers like Rory McIlroy, who achieved a major win in 2025.
The 2018 U.S. Open saw Fleetwood finish second by one stroke after a final-round 63, though a third-round 78 proved costly. Similarly, in the 2019 Open Championship, he was close to the lead after two rounds but finished six strokes behind the winner. Since 2019, Fleetwood has not secured another top-two finish in a major.
His Masters record includes nine starts before 2026, with only one top-10 finish in 2024. Notably, Fleetwood has not missed the cut at the Masters since his debut in 2017, demonstrating his consistent presence at Augusta National.
