Opinion: Tommy Fleetwood is best golfer ever without a PGA Tour win

Tommy Fleetwood is ranked 13th in the world. He has won seven times on the European Tour, won the silver medal at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, has eight top 10 finishes at majors, lost to Canadian Nick Taylor in a playoff at the 2023 RBC Canadian Open, three career top 10 finishes at the World Golf Championships, is a three-time winner of the Ryder Cup, is eighth in the FedEx Cup standings, and has six top 10 finishes in 2025 on the PGA Tour. He is a contender every time he hits a golf ball with his club. However, Fleetwood has never been able to win on the PGA Tour as of yet.

Fleetwood now has 162 appearances on the PGA Tour. He has finished in the top 10 a total of 43 times. That is more than a quarter of his PGA Tour starts. Fleetwood has earned $32,520,669 in career money. That is 44th all-time, and the most money among all golfers never to have won on the PGA Tour.

It should also be noted that Fleetwood has come close this summer. He was second to Keegan Bradley at the Travelers Championship, and third at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, behind England’s Justin Rose and American J.J. Spaun. Fleetwood actually had a three stroke lead with four holes to play at the Travelers Championship, and was the 54 hole leader in Memphis last week.

For years, Lee Westwood was considered the best golfer in the world never to have won a major. He did win twice on the PGA Tour (1998 Freeport-McDermott Classic and the 2010 St. Jude Classic). This week in Baltimore, Fleetwood is once again in contention (in fifth place). But until he wins, he will be recognized as the best golfer ever without a PGA Tour victory.
