TOMMY Fleetwood enjoys a successful career as a professional golfer – and this weekend he’ll be hoping to win The Masters.
By his side supporting his many accolades is his wife, Clare. But who is she and when did the couple tie the knot? Here’s everything you need to know.
Clare Craig was born in Manchester, England.
She is the wife of professional golfer Tommy Fleetwood and like her husband, shares an interest in sports.
Craig’s name first surfaced when she became the vice-president of Hambric Europe, an organisation which represents professional golfers – and that led her into crossing Fleetwood’s path.
In 2015, Craig became Fleetwood’s manager and has since guided the sports star to success.
Fleetwood has credited Craig for saving his career following his previous fall out of the world’s top 180.
Craig was also a trustee of the Richard Burns Foundation, which was set up in memory of a rally driver who died from brain cancer.
In 2017, the couple tied the knot in the Bahamas in front of 40 guests.
Speaking of their relationship, Fleetwood previously told the Telegraph: “It works very well. I do as I’m told when needed to.
“When we started, we obviously never knew how it was going to go, and I think we were always open to the idea if it didn’t work then we’d try something else, but luckily for us, we get on so well.
“I guess it’s our relationship in a way, but we’ve not had any trouble yet. But then, my entire backroom is formed with people I class as friends first and colleagues second. It’s just the way I am.”
The pair share one child together – a son named Franklin who they welcomed in September 2017, just months before their wedding.
The golfer withdrew from the British Masters in order to be at home with his wife after Franklin’s birth.
Following the birth of his son, Fleetwood took to Twitter to share the exciting news with fans and followers.
”The most beautiful and proud moment of my life!” he wrote. ”Franklin Fleetwood born at 12.33 on 28/9/17 at 7pounds 6ounces.”
Clare also has two sons from a previous marriage.
As a result of his successful sporting career and sponsorships, Fleetwood has amassed an impressive income.
The golfers net worth is estimated to be in the region of $15 million (£11,666,343.00) as of 2023.
According to the golfers official website, Fleetwood works in partnership with various brands including TaylorMade, Nike, BMW and Tag Heuer.
