The 32-year-old is still however looking to land his first PGA Tour title in 12 years.
Fleetwood spoke to the DP World Tour before the Dubai Desert Classic.
The Southport man gave an overview of his start to the season.
“I finished last year well and you never know after a month off quite how you are going to play.
“There have been some positives and there have been some things to work on but overall great to be back into tournament golf.”
The WM Phoenix Open will be played over four days from Thursday 9th to Sunday 12th of February. The winner receives $3.6 million dollars.
Fleetwood is set to tee off 2.26pm UK time for his first round and 7.11pm UK time on Friday for round two.
