“Ridiculous!!! I’m a golfer not an influencer”: Tommy Fleetwood takes a lighthearted dig at DP World Tour’s new ad drill

Tommy Fleetwood recently reacted to DP World Tour’s brand-new advertisement drill. The golfer shared the video on his official X account, where he has around 344k followers, on Friday, January 17.

The video is a hilarious stint pulled off by a couple of golfers along with Fleetwood. It starts with Fleetwood channeling his inner influencer and welcoming everyone to his 'channel'. Shortly after that, Hannah Rae is seen talking to the golfer and giving him the 'influencer training'.

Hannah: "Look Tommy, everyone loves drama, okay? Best way to do that? A rivalry. We got Team USA vs Team Europe. Tiger vs Phil. Bryson vs Brooks. Bryson vs Ropes. Bryson vs that big a-- aquarium a house."

Fleetwood: "I don't really have enemies. I'm Tommy Fleetwood. People kind of like me."

The next part followed Fleetwood hilariously knocking off equipment and flipping off Luke Donald. Reposting the original tweet by DP World Tour, Tommy Fleetwood wrote:

Fleetwood has been a part of the DP World Tour since 2012. The video shows him with fellow DP World golfers like Padraig Harrington, Matt Wallace, Duke Donald, Akshay Bhatia, Paul Waring, Min Woo Lee, and Mac Boucher.

Apart from them and Tommy Fleetwood, Hannah Rae Aslesen acted as the 'viral consultant' in this video. Popular golf influencers, the Fore Brothers were also a part of the social media stint.

Tommy Fleetwood spoke about developing his mindset before stepping up at the 2025 Hero Dubai Desert Classic. To create a winning mindset, the pro golfer explained that he often looks at the 2024 Hero Dubai Desert Classic winner Rory McIlroy (reported by Sky Sports):

"Yeah, it's tough to win. You can look at any number of things that would produce more wins but I think, you know, ultimately, trying to stay as consistent as possible, put myself in those positions as much as possible. I think one of the greatest winners of my generation, well, if not the greatest, is Rory. Rory puts himself in those situations all the time and wins plenty as a result of it. I love looking at the best players and the consistency levels that they have..."
