Tommy Fleetwood Narrowly Misses First PGA Tour Victory at Travelers Championship

Tommy Fleetwood came agonizingly close to winning his first PGA Tour event at the 2025 Travelers Championship, leading for much of the final round before losing by one stroke to Keegan Bradley, a New England native and two-time Travelers champion. Despite having seven European Tour wins and top-five finishes in all four major championships, Fleetwood remains winless in 159 PGA Tour starts, holding the record for most top-10 finishes without a victory. After bogeying the final hole, Fleetwood acknowledged his frustration but expressed determination to learn from the experience and return to contention soon. Throughout the tournament, he demonstrated strong play, including a bogey-free third round and multiple eagles, which fueled hopes among fans and influencers alike for his breakthrough. Fleetwood praised the challenging TPC River Highlands course, emphasizing that maintaining composure would be critical in such tight competition. The crowd's strong support for Bradley, the upcoming U.S. Ryder Cup captain, added to the bittersweet nature of Fleetwood's near miss.
