Tommy Fleetwood is already a Team Europe lifer — but for the first time, he is coming into a Ryder Cup as a PGA Tour winner.
The 34-year-old England native joined the PGA Tour in 2018 after spending nearly eight years on the European Tour full-time, where he has earned seven total victories.

With his seven wins, 13 runner-up finishes and 46 top-10 finishes in Europe, Fleetwood has earned more than $35 million on what is now the DP World Tour.
While he has not found the winners circle as much as he would like, he has managed to be a threat every week, which has led to $43,430,669 in PGA Tour prize money. Including the $10 million he won as the FedEx Cup champion this year, Fleetwood has earned roughly $88 million as a professional golfer.

Europe will need some of Fleetwood’s magic if they want to break the streak of five straight Ryder Cups won by the home team — but maybe that Tour Championship momentum carries over.
