Tommy Fleetwood has been announced as the DP World’s latest Global Ambassador, following in the footsteps of cricketing royalty Sachin Tendulkar, who was announced as a DP World Global Ambassador late last year.
The Dubai resident, currently ranked World Number 13, was a member of last year’s victorious European Ryder Cup team in Rome to become a two-time winner, he has amassed seven wins on the DP World Tour, including two Abu Dhabi HSBC Championships and the Dubai Invitational this past January.
