After 164 attempts, Tommy Fleetwood finally captured his long-awaited first PGA Tour victory by winning the 2025 Tour Championship in style. The 34 year old Englishman closed with composure, sealing a three-shot win at 18-under par and lifting the FedEx Cup along with a USD 10 million prize.
With tears in his eyes, Fleetwood acknowledged the roaring crowd chanting his name on the 18th green. European Ryder Cup teammate Justin Rose captured the moment on his phone as Fleetwood celebrated with arms raised, ending his winless run on the PGA Tour.
Fleetwood had come painfully close many times before 30 career top-five finishes, including six this season, without a win. Twice this year he entered the final round with at least a share of the lead, only to fall short. “You just keep learning,” Fleetwood said. “This probably wasn’t the most comfortable because, as they rack up, you obviously start to think of things.”
Now with eight professional wins seven previously on the DP World Tour Fleetwood is finally a PGA Tour champion and poised to rise to sixth in the world rankings.
Fleetwood becomes the first player ever to win his debut PGA Tour title at the Tour Championship since the FedEx Cup’s inception in 2007. He’s also the second Englishman to win it, following Rose in 2018.
Remarkably, he finished inside the top six in every round of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, ending the 12-round series at an incredible 43-under-par.
Fleetwood’s win drew praise from across sports. Tiger Woods called it “a reminder that hard work, resilience, and heart do pay off.” LeBron James added, “That first one feeling is something else.” Everton FC, his beloved club, also celebrated their lifelong fan. Fleetwood responded with heartfelt gratitude: “There were times I felt shocking walking off the course, but the support helped me immensely.”
