Tommy Fleetwood and his longtime caddie Ian Finnis will be reunited at next week’s Genesis Scottish Open after four months apart.
Finnis will carry for the popular Englishman for the first time since the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. The towering Liverpudlian has been sidelined since receiving open-heart surgery at the end of April.
Finnis told NCG of his return at West Lancs during the Final Open Qualifying, the golf course he belongs to and that he played with Fleetwood in recent weeks. The pair have also played Hillside together, another course in the compact bunch of world-class venues on England’s Northwest coast.
Golf fans will no doubt welcome the news and show delight at Finnis’ return to full fitness and the timing of it with Fleetwood’s latest tilt at The Open Championship on the horizon.
Tommy Fleetwood: Caddie will be back for run-in to Open Championship
He “hadn’t been well all year” according to Fleetwood at the time and since their last tournament together in Ponte Vedra, he’s bounced from caddie to caddie. Acquiring the service of looper Gray Moore, Fleetwood finished in a tie for third at the Masters.
David Clark and Adrian Rietveld have also caddied for Fleetwood in the meantime at the PGA Championship and the US Open which brought two more top-30 finishes.
Fleetwood even did some caddying of his own earlier this season when he helped out his 17-year-old stepson Oscar at the UAE Challenge on the Challenge Tour.
The likeable duo from Merseyside, who share a love for both golf and Everton Football Club of the Premier League, have won seven times on the DP World Tour but are yet to secure a win on the PGA Tour. Fleetwood came closest to victory on the US circuit in 2023 when he lost to Nick Taylor in a playoff at the RBC Canadian Open.
