Tommy Fleetwood is chasing first PGA Tour victory at the FedExCup Playoffs

Tommy Fleetwood shot a 6-under 64 in the second round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship on Friday. The 34-year-old held the 36-hole lead of the FedExCup playoffs opener. Interestingly, the move has sparked some confidence in the Englishman to set sights on an elusive PGA Tour title. Following the round, the golfer came out to state, “Maybe this weekend" is the one he gets it done.

For the unversed, Fleetwood has played 160 events since joining the PGA Tour in 2018. He is yet to clinch his maiden title on the circuit. It is pertinent to note that the European Ryder Cupper has finished runner-up six times, third five times, and top-10 a record-setting 42 times on the tour. Now, closing in on a possible debut win, the 2024 Dubai Invitational champion said he’s ‘happy to put himself in with a chance over the weekend.’

The 2019 Open Championship runner-up was replying to a media query on the possibility of replicating Cameron Young’s success, who won the Wyndham Championship after 93 starts without a win, when he made the comments.

Tommy Fleetwood told reporters on Friday at TPC Southwind, as quoted by ASAP Sports:

“Happy to put myself in with a chance over the weekend. I think that's exactly where you want to be and keep testing yourself. Yeah, it hasn't happened for me yet out on the PGA Tour, but I would much rather be up there and not quite get it done than not there at all, and who knows, maybe this weekend is the weekend and we'll see, and we'll crack on from there. But look forward to tomorrow first.”

It is pertinent to note that Fleetwood has earned a whopping $31,360,669 on the PGA Tour, putting him among the top-earning golfers on the circuit without a win. Interestingly, he came close to winning at the Travelers Championship this June. However, the European star surrendered a three-stroke lead with just four holes remaining to US Ryder Cup skipper Keegan Bradley.

This comes after an impressive season from the golfer, which included multiple top-10 finishes.

Apart from the T2 at Travelers Championship and the T4 finish at Truist Championship, the T5 at Genesis Invitational highlights Fleetwood’s 2025 PGA Tour season so far. However, the season wasn’t devoid of major setbacks. The ace golfer missed the cut at the U.S. Open, his only one of the season.
