Tommy Fleetwood has recently developed into one of the biggest stars in the world of professional golf.

Fleetwood was already a household name in Europe, winning several DP World Tour events and becoming a key figure on the Ryder Cup team.

However, the Englishman emerged as a fan favourite on the PGA Tour this year through his journey towards his first victory in the United States.

He suffered multiple near misses throughout the 2025 season before eventually winning the Tour Championship title at East Lake in August.

Fleetwood inspired thousands of amateur golfers around the world, and now he has shared his key piece of advice for them to improve, too.

Tommy Fleetwood’s key advice to amateur golfers

Fleetwood has often shared tips with amateur golfers throughout his career, and it must have been difficult to choose the most important.

But, before the DP World Tour India Championship this week, he offered his single biggest piece of advice to those looking to improve.

Fleetwood explained that keeping the ball in play for all 18 holes is the way forward, even though it may not be exciting.

“That’s a tough one. I feel like there are a lot of tips and advice you can give,” he said in his latest press conference.

“If club golfers can start with trying to get around with one golf ball, it’s always kind of very cheap, and so I feel like my dad, that’s always his form of success in a round of golf, no matter what he has shot, he has the same golf ball in the end.

“That will definitely save strokes if you can do that. And by the way, putting the ball in play and being sensible.”

What Tommy Fleetwood does off the course to improve his golf game

Fleetwood also spoke about something he has done away from the golf course to help him play better in tournaments.

While he admitted that he has not done so lately, he enjoys doing yoga in his spare time to relax his mind and body in stressful times.

“Yeah, I haven’t done yoga for a while, actually. I need to get back into that,” Fleetwood explained.

“I remember when I had a huge phase of that when we were talking, I remember I was really struggling with my game and I was in a bad place, having the worst period of golf that I had had, I feel like part of… as hard as I worked and all the decisions that I made to try and get my game back at the time, I feel like meditation was a huge part of that. Because I had to sort of really rewire my confidence and things like that.

“I still do that to this day. I might be a bit sporadic with it, but I really feel like it’s a powerful tool and I feel like it’s very, very important. I think there are a lot of goals that I set or visualizations that come in a week or a tournament, or wherever it may be, and I feel like meditation is a big part of that, and it helps me a lot.

“So yeah, I would always advise anybody when they are thinking about things like that. I would say definitely do it. Yeah, maybe the yoga is something that I need to do. I’m not old yet, but I could still do with moving my body better.”
