Tommy Fleetwood recently got candid about sharing his name with popular rock band Fleetwood Mac. The English golfer competed in his first TGL match on Tuesday, February 4 at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

During the match, Fleetwood was asked about the music on his phone.

"There's an eclectic mix in the phone. I definitely had to choose some Fleetwood Mac songs for the TGL. I just felt like there was no other way to go," Tommy Fleetwood said.

When asked if Fleetwood Mac was a name-related choice or he loved the band's music, the 34-year-old said:

"Yeah, I do. I really, really do. And I share the name, but I don't share the musical talent, unfortunately. But I do enjoy listening to them."

The interviewer then joked that Fleetwood could "rip a guitar." In response, Fleetwood said:

"I don't know about that. I'll have to try."
