Tommy Fleetwood: Breakthrough Win At East Lake, Working With Butch Harmon, and Fatherhood

Smylie and Charlie are joined by defending TOUR Champion Tommy Fleetwood on the latest episode of The Smylie Show! Tommy reflects on his breakthrough win - his first on the PGA TOUR - in 2025 at East Lake a year later, the near-misses at the Travelers Championship and FedEx St. Jude that preceded it, the "instant gratification" he felt on the flight home, and how that mindset has carried into this season. Plus: His work with Butch Harmon and the power of simplicity, his love for the nine wood and mini driver, an emotional week playing the Open Championship at home in Southport, and his "fatherhood foursome" featuring Oscar, Murray, and Frankie (and the antics that usually ensue during and after). We also get a highly entertaining behind-the-scenes look at Frankie's prep process ahead of the 2025 Masters Par Three Contest.
