Tommy Fleetwood expressed his belief that participating in the Ryder Cup as part of Team Europe will bring out the best in him. The English golfer has been selected to join Luke Donald’s team to represent Europe at Bethpage Black alongside renowned players like Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and Matt Fitzpatrick.
Golf is commonly known as a solitary sport due to its individual nature, where players typically rely on their coaches and caddies for support during most events throughout the season. However, the Ryder Cup, being a team event, offers a different dynamic where players can rely on each other for both on-course and off-course support.
Fleetwood highlighted the significance of being part of a team during a press conference, emphasizing the historical legacy of Team Europe and the privilege it is to carry that legacy forward as a team. He noted the camaraderie among the players, vice captains, captain, and backroom staff, emphasizing how the collective support network motivates each player to strive for their best performance.
The English golfer heads into this year’s Ryder Cup with boosted confidence after securing his first PGA Tour title at the Tour Championship. Despite his recent success, Fleetwood remains focused on defending Team Europe’s title at the upcoming Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, where he anticipates tough competition from Team USA, led by prominent players like Bryson DeChambeau, Scottie Scheffler, and Xander Schauffele.
The Ryder Cup is set to kick off at Bethpage Black on Friday, 26 September.
