Fleetwood Secures Victory in India to Extend Exceptional Season

Tommy Fleetwood’s remarkable season reached new heights as he secured victory at the India Championship. This triumph marks his first European Tour win of the year, enhancing his already impressive achievements in 2025.

Key Events and Highlights

On October 19, 2025, Fleetwood demonstrated skill and resilience at the Delhi Golf Club. He began the final round two shots behind Keita Nakajima, who started the day with a solid lead. However, Fleetwood swiftly gained momentum, making four consecutive birdies around the turn.

• Final Round Performance: Fleetwood closed with a 7-under 65.
• Victory Margin: He won by two shots over Nakajima.
• Overall Score: Fleetwood finished the tournament at 22-under 266.

Significant Achievements

This victory is Fleetwood’s eighth career win on the European Tour. It follows his accomplishments in the Ryder Cup, where he was a leading points-earner for Team Europe, and a recent FedEx Cup title win.

Despite his U.S. success, Fleetwood expressed a desire to excel on the European stage. “Another win feels great,” he remarked after clinching the title. This latest victory has moved him from No. 94 to No. 25 in the Race to Dubai. Now, Fleetwood is eligible for the Abu Dhabi Championship and the Tour Championship in Dubai.

Family Celebration

One of the most touching moments of the day occurred when Fleetwood’s son, Frankie, rushed onto the 18th green to celebrate his father’s victory. Fleetwood shared that he had hoped to create this cherished memory, which made the win even more special.

Nakajima’s Performance

Keita Nakajima, despite a strong start, struggled to maintain his lead as the round progressed. He remained bogey-free, finishing with a score of 69. This performance elevated him into the top 10 of European Tour players eligible for PGA Tour cards next year.

Others who performed well included Shane Lowry, Thriston Lawrence, and Alex Fitzpatrick, all tying for third place with scores of 270.

Rory McIlroy, playing in India for the first time, finished tied for 26th with a score of 282.

Fleetwood’s persistence and skill have not only brought him individual success but also a deep sense of fulfillment as a father and athlete. As the season progresses, he looks forward to building on this momentum.
