Posted On: May 28, 2024 By :PGA Tour golfer Tommy Fleetwood, who finished in a tie for third at the Masters earlier this season, will support three International Pathway Series events annually in the Middle East and Europe for top international juniors who want to attend college and earn their way into American Junior Golf Association tournaments.
“It’s a great privilege to be hosting the UAE’s first AJGA events,” said Fleetwood. “The AJGA series is a globally recognized pathway for elite amateur golfers to progress and compete at the highest level and we are so proud to be announcing this partnership.”
Fleetwood is a seven-time DP World Tour winner and is currently ranked No. 13 in the Official World Golf Rankings. The AJGA’s international membership has grown to 60 different countries and represents nearly 10% of its overall membership.
“We are excited to partner with Tommy and Clare Fleetwood and everything they stand for,” said Jason Etzen, AJGA chief business officer. “The Fleetwoods’ goals align with the mission of the AJGA, and we are thrilled to work together to provide these juniors with an opportunity to grow and build their futures.”

“The AJGA and Tommy partnership is an important initiative and we are proud to continue investing and working with Tommy,” said Daniel Van Otterdijk, chief communications officer of group communications at DP World. “This partnership forms part of a wider investment DP World has in golf and Tommy and we are delighted to be partnering with him again.”
