Tommy Fleetwood captured his first PGA Tour victory at the 2025 Tour Championship, held at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, by posting a 2-under 68 in the final round to finish 18 under par, three shots ahead of Russell Henley and Patrick Cantlay[1][2]. This win also secured Fleetwood the coveted FedEx Cup title and a $10 million payout[1][2].
Fleetwood, 34, had previously accumulated 30 top-five finishes in 164 PGA Tour starts without ever winning, the most in the past century for a winless player on tour[1][2]. His victory ended a series of close calls and solidified his status as no longer the best golfer never to win on the PGA Tour[2][4]. Known for his resilience and hard work, Fleetwood remarked after the win, “I’m just so happy that I got it done. Happy with my work ethic. I’ll continue to try and get better, try to be the best I can be”[2].
Fleetwood’s path to victory included opening rounds of 63, 64, and 67 before holding off challenges in the final round and firing crucial birdies on the back nine[5]. His equipment changes during the season, including a key switch in driver shafts, reportedly played a role in his breakthrough[4].
For fans, highlights of Fleetwood’s final round and best shots are available from both the PGA Tour and Golf Channel, documenting his memorable walk to the winner’s circle[3][7].
