Tommy Fleetwood relieved as family able to leave Dubai for UK amid conflict
"It is difficult not being able to travel. That has obviously been difficult. But when you know they're fine, that's kind of a relief. I think Clare is very relieved now. She feels good and everything. It's just not a great time for so many people in the country. It's just unsettling for everyone, really."
"They had one flight that was cancelled or suspended. And then they got lucky getting out because they got out on the flight and then I think something happened at the airport while they were in the air or something. So they got lucky timing wise. All I can say is that my family felt very safe and think the nation and the leaders have done an amazing job."
Tommy Fleetwood, world No. 3, experienced concern while competing in Florida as his wife, son, and two stepsons attempted to leave their four-year home in Dubai. They successfully returned to the UK on Wednesday evening. Fleetwood acknowledged the difficulty of being separated during the uncertain situation, noting his wife Clare felt relieved once safely home. Tens of thousands of British nationals were evacuating the UAE with flights grounded for extended periods. Fleetwood's family experienced one cancelled flight but fortunately secured passage on another. He praised the nation's leaders for maintaining safety and security throughout the evacuation process. His family is expected to join him before the upcoming PGA Tour stop in Texas.
