Tommy Fleetwood's PGA Tour Winless Streak Continues at BMW Championship
Tommy Fleetwood, the English golfer, once again came close to securing his first PGA Tour victory, but fell short at the 2025 BMW Championship held at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland.
Fleetwood started strong, shooting a 5-under 65 in the first round, placing him in solo second after the opening day, three strokes behind Robert MacIntyre. However, a par on the easiest hole on the course and a bogey on No. 17 in the final round saw him miss a likely victory, ultimately finishing tied for fourth, alongside Sam Burns, with a score of 270 (−10).
The greens at Caves Valley, averaging 5,200 square feet, made approach play and precision with irons more important. The greens are Bentgrass and run around 12.5 on the stimpmeter, providing a challenging surface for the players.
Fleetwood's closest competitor in the winless streak is Matt Fitzpatrick, who leads the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained: Putting on Bentgrass greens. Fitzpatrick's putting prowess was not enough to prevent Fleetwood's latest near-miss, as the Englishman could not convert his opportunities when it mattered most.
Fleetwood has now made 162 PGA Tour starts without a win, a streak that includes six runner-up finishes, six third-place finishes, 29 top-fives, and 42 top-10s. His consistent performances have kept him in contention, but the elusive first victory continues to elude him.
Meanwhile, Justin Rose won the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, his 12th career PGA Tour victory. Rose rallied on Sunday with four consecutive birdies on holes 14-17 to force a playoff, eventually claiming victory in the playoff.
The FedExCup point standings after the FedEx St. Jude Championship have been updated, with five players moving into the top 50 and five players moving outside. Scottie Scheffler, who finished T-3 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, leads the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained: Approach, Strokes Gained: Off The Tee, and Birdie Or Better Percentage. Scheffler will be the favourite going into the BMW Championship, with odds of +250.
Caves Valley is the fourth-longest course on the PGA Tour this year, providing a test of endurance as well as skill. Viktor Hovland leads the PGA Tour in Average Proximity Gained for shots from 175 to 200 yards and 200+ yards, demonstrating the importance of long, accurate drives at Caves Valley.
As the PGA Tour moves forward, the question remains: when will Tommy Fleetwood finally secure that elusive first victory? With his consistent performances and ability to compete at the top level, it seems only a matter of time before he breaks through and adds his name to the list of PGA Tour winners.
Although Tommy Fleetwood came close to securing his first PGA Tour victory at the BMW Championship, his streak remains active, now reaching 162 starts without a win. Meanwhile, college football fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming season, with odds for various teams already being set in the sports betting markets.
