Yet, Clare was not shown during the television broadcast as Tommy posted a historic win.<\/p>\n<p>Tommy embraced his stepson Carlos in an emotional moment after finally ending his PGA Tour drought. It is worth noting that just because Clare was not shown during the broadcast, does not necessarily mean she was not in attendance at East Lake. Regardless, some fans have been curious about where Clare watched her husband win his first PGA Tournament.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/golf\/article-15031267\/Tommy-Fleetwoods-wife-57-NOT-hand-celebrate-golf-triumph-star-34-initially-rejected-paranoid-fears-23-year-age-gap-relationship.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">Daily Mail\u2019s Adrian Bishop<\/a> discussed Clare\u2019s potential absence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs he sunk his final putt to secure victory and take home a $10 million prize pot the 34-year-old was overcome by emotion and was embraced by friends and colleagues,\u201d Bishop wrote on August 25, 2025. \u201cOne figure conspicuous by their absence during the triumphant moment was his wife of eight years, Clare.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you need to know about Tommy\u2019s wife Clare.<\/p>\n<p>Tommy Fleetwood\u2019s Wife Clare Is Also the Golfer\u2019s Manager<\/p>\n<p>Wherever Clare watched Tommy\u2019s victory, the golfer\u2019s longtime partner was likely thrilled with the outcome. Back in June, the PGA Tour shared a heartwarming moment of Clare embracing Tommy after Keegan Bradley surged past the golfer to win the Travelers Championship. Unfortunately for Tommy, it was yet another second-place finish.<\/p>\n<p>The couple have a unique story given Clare is also Tommy\u2019s manager. Clare and Tommy initially had a professional relationship before the two became an item.<\/p>\n<p>Tommy\u2019s eventual wife initially ruled out dating the golfer given their near 23-year age gap. The golfer also nearly found a new manager to provide a bit of distance, but the couple ultimately decided to keep a good thing going.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe planned to keep our life and our work separate, for me to find another agent,\u201d Tommy admitted during a January 30, 2023, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.com\/uk\/society\/article\/tommy-fleetwood-wife-age-gap-golf-interview-0dgm5nq77?region=global\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">interview with The Times\u2019<\/a> Julia Llewellyn Smith. \u201cThe 22-year age gap? We\u2019re pioneers.\u201d \u201cBut it became more apparent I wasn\u2019t going to find anybody I\u2019d trust as much because, after all, Clare is a very, very, very good agent by trade; it wasn\u2019t like she was my wife just helping the family out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo in the end we thought, \u2018We\u2019ll just give it a go, but we will never let anything get in the way of our relationship,\u2019 and it\u2019s just always worked perfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clare Fleetwood Initially Turned Down Dating Tommy Fleetwood Because of the Near 23-Year Age Difference<\/p>\n<p>Clare has been candid about her initial reservations about dating Tommy given the age difference. There was also the added complications that the two had a business relationship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got a 23-year age difference,\u201d Clare previously noted on the \u201cPerformance People\u201d podcast, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/golf\/2093398\/Tommy-Fleetwood-wife-Clare-23-year-age-gap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">per Express<\/a>. \u201cOf course, I turned him down. I was like, \u2018Don\u2019t be stupid.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Clare became at peace with all the different obstacles. Tommy and Clare now think of themselves as being \u201cpioneers\u201d after overcoming the initial mental block regarding the age difference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is (more common), but we\u2019ll always be one of the first,\u201d Tommy told The Times. \u201cWe\u2019re pioneers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tommy and Clare are sure to be celebrating the golfer\u2019s historic win throughout the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/author\/jondadams\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jonathan Adams<\/a> is a veteran sports contributor covering the NFL, NBA and golf for Heavy.com.
