TOMMY FLEETWOOD has his wife by his side as he reaches the halfway point of the British Masters tournament. So who is golf manager Clare Craig and what is the age difference?
Tommy Fleetwood has been managed by Clare Craig since 2015. Before taking on the golf pro as a client, she was vice president of sports management company Hambric Sports. And the professional relationship turned romantic for the power couple. But what do we know about Clare and Tommy’s relationship and their age difference?
What is their age difference?
Tommy is 28 years old, and has previously said his wife is “20 years older than me”.
Clare has said she doesn’t like the idea of being called a ‘WAG’, given she’s as much of a professional as Tommy.
Speaking out about their professional relationship last year, Tommy said: “It works very well. I do as I’m told when needed to.
“When we started, we obviously never knew how it was going to go and I think we were always open to the idea if it didn’t work then we’d try something else, but luckily for us, we get on so well,” he added.
He went on to note how his backroom is formed of people he considers friends first and colleagues second, saying: “It’s just the way I am.”
The couple married in 2017 after he finished competing in the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.
At the time, he said: “Me and Clare said that if we got into the tournament, it would be a great place to get married. So I’m actually getting married on Tuesday here.
“So missing the tournament wasn’t really an option.”
Tommy’s longtime caddie and pal Ian Finnis, his best friend growing up, was the best man at their small ceremony.
The guest list boasted a modest 40 people.
