The pair became the 199th and 200th players to break the $10 million mark in career earnings on the PGA Tour, according to Golf Digest.
Fleetwood had been just shy of $10 million – $765 to be exact – since his last PGA Tour start last November.
A tie for 44th at the WGC event did the trick for the Englishman with $47 500 deposited into his bank account.
