Tommy Fleetwood enjoyed a huge payday at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am following the end of his sponsorship deal with Nike. Fleetwood finished the PGA Tour’s first signature event of the season on 20-under after a final round 66, which marked his best round of the tournament.
The Englishman sat level with Scottie Scheffler in T4, two strokes behind the eventual winner Collin Morikawa. Fleetwood had a late chance to get to 21-under but left his eagle chip short at the last.
Even so, the world No. 4 managed to secure a whopping £640,000 in prize money. The windfall came after the 35-year-old confirmed the end of his contract with Nike ahead of the Dubai Invitational in January.

Since turning professional in 2010, the Merseysider has been synonymous with Nike clothing and footwear. He lifted trophies all around the world wearing the American brand’s attire, from the 2011 Formby Hall Classic on the EuroPro Tour to his recent victory at the 2025 DP World India Championship.
But he arrived at Pebble Beach as a free agent, having not signed a big-money contract yet. After being contractually bound for over a decade, Fleetwood has been seen wearing a variety of sports clothing already this year, including Lululemon, Vuori and even Masters branded gear.

Last week, he kitted himself out in Pebble Beach merchandise from the club shop and appeared delighted to rely on his own wardrobe.
He confirmed after his first round at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am: “Our contract was ending and it just turned out like we sort of didn’t end up in a place where I’m wearing Nike stuff this year. Who knows what’s going to happen in the future. But this is cool. I don’t know, I feel like I’m a big golf fan.

“I really like golf stuff, so it’s quite nice to be wearing Pebble Beach clothing. I mean, my kids would absolutely love this stuff so I feel pretty lucky to have it on.”
As one of the most popular golfers in the world, Fleetwood will not be short of offers from brands wanting him to be seen in their gear. However, he isn’t in any rush to tie himself down just yet, with there seemingly being no ongoing talks over a new sponsorship deal. He added: “We’ll have to see, we’ll have to see what happens throughout the year.”
