Tommy Fleetwood makes unwanted history on PGA Tour.

Tommy Fleetwood Falls Short of PGA Tour Win, but Still Earns $1.16 Million

Tommy Fleetwood’s bid for his first PGA Tour win fell short at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Despite finishing T-3, he earned a substantial $1,160,000 paycheck.

Fleetwood Becomes First Player to Reach $20 Million in PGA Tour Earnings Without a Win

Thanks to his impressive performance in Memphis, Fleetwood made history as the first player to surpass $20 million in earnings on the PGA Tour without a victory.

Fleetwood’s Wins on the DP World Tour Contribute to His Overall Earnings

While some may argue that Fleetwood’s European wins should be considered, his PGA Tour earnings are still impressive. Despite not winning a single event this season, he has accumulated over $6.3 million.

It’s also worth noting that Fleetwood’s earnings are affected by the increased prize money in professional golf. Nevertheless, earning $20 million without a win is an impressive feat that many would envy.

Fleetwood’s Near Misses and Consistent Performances

Fleetwood has come agonizingly close to securing his first victory on the PGA Tour. Statistician Justin Ray reveals that Fleetwood holds the record for the most top-five finishes (22) without a win in the past 40 years.

In response to his near misses, Fleetwood remains positive, acknowledging the quality of his golf and expressing confidence in his game. While the frustration is present, he chooses to focus on the improvements and keep playing his way.

Fleetwood’s Opportunity for Success in Upcoming Tournaments

Fortunately for Fleetwood, he will have two more chances to claim victory in the BMW Championship and the season finale at East Lake. With limited fields, he will compete against only 49 and 30 players, respectively. As he currently ranks 10th in the FedEx Cup standings, Fleetwood has a strong chance to make an impact in these tournaments.
