Educational Partnership
Beyond tournament preparations, Fleetwood established an exclusive educational partnership with Rossall School on the Fylde Coast in Lancashire.
The independent school launched applications for a fully funded Tommy Fleetwood Scholarship on July 2. It will open its official academy branch in September 2026.
"Rossall's commitment to excellence, both in the classroom and on the golf course, immediately stood out to me," said Fleetwood.
"The school shares our belief that young athletes should be given every opportunity to develop as golfers, students and people."
Prior to travelling to Scotland, Fleetwood and his wife Clare attended Day 3 of the Wimbledon tennis championships on July 1.
