“It was kind of not actually for us but it was just again thinking what other people are thinking about all the time and within the industry.”

Tommy Fleetwood is one of the stars of the Paris Olympics, having impressed golf fans by winning a silver medal for Great Britain. The amazing golfer demonstrated his worth and respect from day one, performing excellently throughout the tournament. The British public is thrilled with his performance, and discussions about him have begun to circulate even among those who don’t follow golf.

Fleetwood is a well-known name in the golf scene, particularly grabbing headlines when LIV Golf showed interest in signing him. It seemed like he was set to leave the PGA Tour, but the Olympic star decided to show his loyalty and remain with the PGA Tour.

Fleetwood is married to his wife Clare, whom he often refers to as his advisor and someone whose opinion he values.

She appeared on the “Performance People” podcast, where she discussed various interesting topics. Since their marriage, much has been said about their age gap, which they had not previously addressed. Clare decided to finally respond to the criticism during the podcast, answering the host’s question about whether such comments have affected her.

“It kind of is and isn’t. I mean it was way more at the beginning.

It was kind of not actually for us but it was just again thinking what other people are thinking about all the time and within the industry. It was kind of big news in our circle so I was a little bit paranoid about all that really. But not for any reason of our relationship and I had full faith once we fell in love.“-she said, as quoted by Mirror.

The couple has been married for seven years, and Clare is 23 years older than Tommy. Clare emphasized that throughout the process of gossiping about them, they have remained clear and vocal, not caring too much about the headlines and those who criticized them. However, she notes that many who were critical of their marriage now have a different perspective, suggesting that they made a mistake.

Clare Fleetwood explained that she is deeply involved in every aspect of Tommy Fleetwood’s career, including sponsorships, logistics, public relations, and financial matters. She stressed that being so immersed in these details can sometimes be overwhelming, as it occupies her thoughts frequently. Clare has consistently shown her love and support for her husband throughout his career and has no intention of withdrawing her support. Her experience is definitely valuable and likely helps Fleetwood in making specific decisions.

She also elaborated on how her perspective on decisions differs from others. For her, a single question or issue often has multiple potential solutions, reflecting the complex nature of her role. Clare approaches decisions not just from a lifestyle standpoint but also considers their business implications.

Clare is clearly someone who considers multiple factors before making decisions. Additionally, she approaches her work with dedication and responsibility, always ready to support her husband and ensure that things turn out in his best interest.

Tommy Fleetwood on his wife

Tommy had only praise for his wife, considering her to be the agent he needed. Fleetwood has immense trust in her, primarily because she is his spouse, and will view matters from a family perspective, aiming to help the family in the best possible way. He wants Clare to approach things with a family-focused mindset rather than just focusing on him as a golfer. He is thrilled with her support, advice, and work, believing that she is the perfect person for him.

“She’s making decisions for the family as well as I guess me as an individual. I would never think of it like that. When she talks about me as a golfer or as an individual, I actually hate it because I’m always like, well it’s for us, it’s for us as a family. That’s what you’re making the decision for, but she does go off on a tangent sometimes speaking about me.”– he said.

When this brilliant golfer first met his wife, she came into his life as his agent. However, over time, Fleetwood began to develop feelings for her, which Clare was initially uncomfortable with. She felt that the age difference between them was too significant and believed that Fleetwood should not entertain such thoughts. Despite this, love eventually developed between them, and they soon got married.

“We’ve got a 23-year age difference. Of course, I turned him down. I was like ‘Don’t be stupid’.”-Clare said.

The British golfer has admitted that he has never regretted his decision, believing he made the right choice. Judging by their statements, they seem to be enjoying their love and appear very happy.
