Belgian professional, Thomas Detry is among the most consistent golfers in the world, having steadily worked his way up through the European circuits and now on the PGA Tour.

He has won three times as a pro so far and been a member of the world's top-100 for several years - occasionally dipping inside the top-50.

And since at least 2020, the former University of Illinois player has been able to count on wife Sarah to support him on his journey.

It is not known exactly how or when the pair met, but Sarah Taylor is originally from London in England and has worked as an agent for Detry and other Belgian golfers, Thomas Pieters and Nicolas Colsaerts in the past. Per Detry's website, Taylor is listed as part of his team and deals with "day-to-day management" duties.

As well as being an agent, back in 2022, Detry's then girlfriend filled in as his caddie during the 2022 AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open. Taylor helped Detry to a 68th-place finish at Mont Choisy Le Golf.

The pair are believed to have married in November 2020. Since then, the duo have welcomed two daughters into the world. Sophia was born first in 2022 before Alba Elizabeth followed in 2024. After winning the 2025 WM Phoenix Open, Detry explained that the family mainly speak English together, but that he and his wife also communicate with their daughters in French sometimes in order for the pair to grow up bilingual.

While it was revealed that Taylor still has a base in London that the family could use if Detry was playing in Europe, the Belgian pro shared in an interview with Golf.com's 'SubPar' podcast in 2024 that the family were still looking for a permanent base in the US after having lived in Dubai for a couple of years.

Detry said: “Right now, we’re living out of a suitcase, we’re pretty much living week by week. I’ve got obviously my wife and my kids traveling with me as well, so it’s not that easy, but we make sure we get great houses. But we’re thinking of getting something.

"Obviously everything came really quick. I got my PGA Tour card in summer 2022, and then suddenly I was like, 'ok, what do we do?' “I just moved to Dubai in 2021. I was kind of settled there as well. And then suddenly I’m like, 'ok, well, now I’m spending pretty much nine months of the year in the U.S. So do we get a place? Do we stay in London? What do we do?

“Right now, we’re kind of still in a transition period. We’re trying to figure it out. Where is the good place maybe to live? Scottsdale, I loved it. A little bit far away from home, but it’s a great place.

"Probably Florida, we’ve tried out the Caribbean as well, but it’s not that easy to get to. So, I think next year [2025] is the year where we’ll definitely commit to something. Hopefully we'll move [to the US] or we'll find somewhere else. We're not quite decided yet.”

As of February 2025, Detry's PGA Tour bio still lists the Belgian pro and his family as residing in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.

Wherever the family has lived, Detry's loved ones have been seen at several of his events, with Taylor pictured celebrating alongside her husband and children after he claimed a maiden PGA Tour title at the WM Phoenix Open in February 2025.

Meanwhile, Taylor has been seen following along at other tournaments in the US and over in Europe, such as the 2024 US Open and PGA Championship. At the latter, Detry finished T4th - a career high for him at a Major.

The married couple were videoed greeting each other shortly after the 2024 BMW PGA Championship, too - an event at which Detry ended T30th.

Crucial to Detry's PGA Tour win, however, was his use of meditation, something he admitted Taylor encouraged him to practice as a result of her own enjoyment around two years ago.

The Belgian shared that he considers himself a "forward-thinker" and uses mediation to help stay in the moment, allowing himself to do what he does best under control.

Asked about his journey into mediation post-victory at TPC Scottsdale, Detry said: "Actually my wife got me into it. My cousin, as well. A couple of friends, a lot of people doing it. I’m talking to a psychologist who’s kind of advised me to do it, as well.

"People think that it’s just one hour of doing like this, but it’s not. You can just put your headphones on. There’s all sorts of apps now that you can use on your phone and you can do that meditation. It takes 10 minutes in the morning. Some people will do a bit longer, but for me, 10 minutes is enough, and I think it’s good.

"Not only even for us golfers, I think it’s good for anyone. It’s good for businessmen, it’s good for performers, for artists, whoever, you name it.

"I think everybody should kind of utilize that tool and be better at using your brain really. That’s really what it is. It’s just getting better at using your brain. I feel like I’ve still got work to do, but I’m getting better at it."
