Some thought it would never happen. Heartbreak after heartbreak. Missed chance after missed chance, it seemed like the world placed a curse on British professional golfer Tommy Fleetwood preventing him from winning a PGA Tour event. When someone as good as Fleetwood builds up12 top three performances with 0 wins, many start to question if he has the ability to close a tournament. Fleetwood answered this question late Sunday afternoon when he hoisted the Tour Championship trophy to triumphantly grab his maiden PGA Tour victory.
Since the late 2000s, each PGA Tour season ends with a three event playoff that culminates in the Tour Championship located at historic East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga.
