Tommy Fleetwood’s rise to prominence has been clear in recent years, becoming one of the most recognisable faces in golf.

Already a well-known figure in Europe thanks to several DP World Tour wins and his role with Team Europe in the Ryder Cup, he’s now gaining more attention on the global stage.

This season saw him become a fan favourite on the PGA Tour, helped by his steady climb towards his first win on US soil.

After coming close several times throughout 2025, Fleetwood finally broke through at East Lake, winning the Tour Championship title in August.

The victory gave him even greater stature among golfers worldwide. Recently, Fleetwood offered some straightforward advice for amateurs looking to improve their game.

“If club golfers can start with trying to get around with one golf ball, it’s always kind of very cheap, and so I feel like my dad, that’s always his form of success in a round of golf, no matter what he has shot, he has the same golf ball in the end.

“That will definitely save strokes if you can do that. And by the way, putting the ball in play and being sensible.”

How Tommy Fleetwood stays sharp away from the Golf Course

Fleetwood also opened up about a routine he uses away from the course that helps him stay sharp during tournaments.

Though he hasn’t practised it much recently, yoga has been a regular part of his routine in the past, helping him stay calm and centred.

“Yeah, I haven’t done yoga for a while, actually. I need to get back into that,” Fleetwood explained.

“I remember when I had a huge phase of that when we were talking, I remember I was really struggling with my game and I was in a bad place, having the worst period of golf that I had had, I feel like part of… as hard as I worked and all the decisions that I made to try and get my game back at the time, I feel like meditation was a huge part of that. Because I had to sort of really rewire my confidence and things like that.“I still do that to this day. I might be a bit sporadic with it, but I really feel like it’s a powerful tool and I feel like it’s very, very important.

“So yeah, I would always advise anybody when they are thinking about things like that. Yeah, maybe the yoga is something that | need to do.”
