Golf star Tommy Fleetwood has ignited heated debate after publicly announcing that he will not participate in Golfâs upcoming âPride Nightâ event. In a statement that has quickly gone viral, Fleetwood said, âThe sport should focus on performance on the course, not on political issues or social movements.â
His comments have divided fans and fellow players. Some are praising him for speaking his mind and keeping golf âabout the game,â while others are accusing him of being insensitive and dismissive of inclusion efforts within the sport.
The controversy adds fresh tension to an already dramatic golf season, following Rory McIlroyâs recent withdrawal from U.S. tournaments. With emotions running high, Fleetwoodâs stance has once again highlighted the growing intersection between sports, identity, and personal beliefs â a conversation that is far from over in the world of golf.
