Tommy Fleetwood has been married to his wife Clare Fleetwood, from Manchester, since 2017.
The pair met thanks to Tommy’s brother Joe, who Clare worked with at Hambric Sports Management.
By end of 2015, Clare became Tommy’s manager after he switched to her management company and the duo later started a romantic relationship.
Due to their relationship, Clare considered taking a step back from managing Tommy. However, they soon found that their work and life balance was a success.
Clare told the Performance People podcast in May 2023: ‘As we were sat there listening to different proposals, I’m like I can do this… but I just for some reason at the beginning thought I couldn’t and I shouldn’t.
‘Then we gave it six months, and it worked, so we carried on.’
“That calming side, that reality check… that happiness side of things and she’s very clever,” he told Performance People. “She judges situations better than you do when you’re playing all the time and you’re so single-minded on what you do and that you don’t look outside the box.”
Tommy revealed that as a manager, Clare can “make good decisions, good calls and bring you out of that when it’s needed,’ reported People magazine.
But after first becoming Tommy’s manager, Clare turned him down ‘a few times’.
She explained: ‘We’ve got a 23-year age difference. Of course, I turned him down. I was like “Don’t be stupid”.’
They became engaged in 2017 and in September that year, Clare, who already had two children with another partner, gave birth to her and Tommy’s child, Franklin Fleetwood.
Less than three months later, the couple were wed on a beach in the Bahamas with just 30 guests watching the ceremony.

Brooks Koepka, 33, and Jena Sims, 34, met in 2015 at the Masters tournament, which Jena told Golf Digest in 2019 was fitting because she is a Georgia native.
‘We met at the 2015 Masters. And that’s so special because I’m from Georgia, so it’s perfect,’ she explained. ‘We were on Hole 7, which I don’t even remember, but he’s like, “Oh, I remember what you were wearing, where we were standing, everything.”‘
Jena explained that she was a long-time golf fan and had always grown up watching the sport because of her father.
Brooks and Jena then announced that they were engaged in April 2021, after more than five years together. The duo shared the exciting news via Instagram, with Jena posting a few photos of the magical moment Brooks popped the question.
‘Forever is no joke,’ Jena said in the caption of her pictures. In another post, she called it the ‘best day of her life.’
The romantic proposal took place on a beach in Jupiter, Florida. The golfer was wearing a white Givenchy t-shirt, black pants, and white sneaks, while Jena opted for a light purple mini-dress and white Nike sneakers.
Brooks shared her post to his Instagram story, adding, ‘Finally…’
In September 2021, Brooks opened up about how Jena changed his life. ‘The way I’m wired, I’m all on or all off. Maybe I didn’t understand that the first 25 years of my life, but in the past five years I’ve been able to own who I am and find that happiness,’ he told Golf Digest.
‘I don’t know if that’s because of Jena or because I understand more of how things work, but you mature a little more.
‘I can’t put my finger on it. But when it comes together, and you see what works, you say, this is the program, and I’m going to stick with it.’
Jena – who is an actress and is most known for her role in the Sharknado movies – is often photographed supporting Brooks at his golf events, telling the outlet in 2019 that she loves ‘being able to support Brooks and watch him.’
‘He’s so talented. It’s so much fun to watch him,’ she gushed. She has also starred in Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader and American Beach House.
Plus, she founded Pageant of Hope – a non-profit organization which ‘aims to raise awareness and support in giving children and teenagers who face serious challenges the opportunity to shine and be celebrated for who they are,’ according to its website.
She is also a model, and has gained more than 200,000 followers on Instagram.
The couple wed seven years after first meeting. They announced the birth of their first child this summer.

Former Open champion Morikawa met wife Katherine while they were both playing collegiate golf in 2017.

Katherine, who was born in Canada but attended high school in China, has a major in international management and was also seen caddying for her husband at the Augusta National Golf Club in 2022.
The couple announced that they were engaged in November 2021, with Katherine writing on Instagram at the time, ‘My forever and ever, I love you.’
And the star couldn’t stop gushing over her one month later. ‘I am very lucky to have her,’ he said, according to Golf Monthly. ‘Kat has been by my side through it all.’
‘She would hate me if I didn’t say this, but I didn’t start winning in college until she showed up in my life, so thanks Kat. Whenever she’s there, it always just gets me away from golf. She knows how I’m feeling after golf.
‘Like you said, she’s played collegiately, she knows golf can take a toll on you, whether it’s a good or bad day. So she’s on that same swing of if we’re playing well or not well, but, yeah, I’m very lucky to have her.’
Katherine, who is from Vancouver, is the daughter of tennis champion Mike Chu.

Scottie Scheffler and his wife, Meredith Scudder, tied the knot in 2020, after six years of dating.
The couple are high school sweethearts, and met while they both attended Highland Park High School when they were just teens.
When it came time for them to head off to college, the pair both went to different schools in Texas but stayed together.
They both graduated in 2018, and the sports star popped the question two years later.
At the time, Meredith gushed, ‘YES! I can’t believe God gave me my best friend to spend the rest of my life with. Can’t wait to be your wife, Scottie! Blown away at the Lord’s faithfulness and goodness to us. [LET’S] DO THIS!’
They got married in December of that year at Arlington Hall in Dallas, with Scottie taking to Instagram to celebrate their anniversary a year later.
‘Very grateful for one year of marriage to my best friend! God is good,’ he wrote at the time.
The two have kept their romance pretty low-key other than that – with Scottie hardly ever sharing any pics with his wife to social media, and her accounts set to private. However, she is often spotted at his matches supporting him.
In fact, when the Masters kicked off she was by his side on the green. And when he won the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March 2022, she jumped into his arms to celebrate.
‘Meredith obviously knows me better than anybody, being my wife,’ he gushed during an interview at the event, per Golf.com.
‘She knows how hard it is when I don’t win. So being able to celebrate a win is pretty special, and to have my parents here for this one is extremely cool with all the sacrifices they made growing up. I’m just really pleased.’
As for her own job, Meredith previously worked for various different humanitarian organizations, including Family Legacy and Live Beyond.

The couple got married in 2021 in Las Vegas, after seven years together. At the time, Xander shared the happy news via social media, writing, ‘My best friend, my wife,’ alongside a snap that showed them at the wedding accompanied by their two dogs.
‘It’s been a long time coming. … We’ve been together for quite some time and decided to make it public. We’re very happy,’ he said afterwards, while attending the Scottish Open.

Captioning a photo with his wife and his mother, he wrote, ‘Here’s to the beautiful, strong and inspiring women in my life. Happy International Women’s Day!’
