Tommy Fleetwood's dramatic win at the 2025 Tour Championship sparked many reactions from the golf community across the globe. Following the conclusion of Sunday's round at the East Lake Golf Course, several other world-class athletes also commended the golfer on his milestone.

Heading into the final round of the 2025 Tour Championship, Fleetwood was tied for the lead with Patrick Cantlay. Prior to the co-leaders teeing off, basketball legend Caitlin Clark posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), hoping that the Englishman would win.
