Overview
- Speaking on Men in Blazers, Fleetwood described a close friendship with the Manchester City manager centered on golf rather than football talk.
- Fleetwood joked he gets no Premier League insights because Guardiola prefers discussing his swing, with the pair good‑naturedly bickering over advice.
- He said he borrows Guardiola’s principles on routines, practice quality, systems, diet, sleep, and overall professionalism to elevate his own prep.
- The duo first played together at the 2018 BMW PGA Celebrity Pro‑Am, the day City clinched Guardiola’s first Premier League title, and they have stayed in touch.
- Guardiola has followed Fleetwood at Wentworth and previously attended major golf events, and he publicly praised Team Europe’s Ryder Cup victory in October.
