While the constant heckling Team Europe was subjected to was difficult to deal with, Fleetwood stated that the players cannot stand up to each and every one in the stands. The Englishman explained it further by saying that not everyone on the grounds that week behaved the same way.

Here's a look at what Tommy Fleetwood had to say about the crowd at the 2025 Ryder Cup (via ASAP Sports):

"There’s a big difference between - like there’s a big difference between a hostile environment and personal comments. Again, I think we were all prepared for it...Like I say, how many people were there? 50,000 people? 60,000 people? You can’t have a go at everyone because the majority don’t do that. I have no hard feelings about it at all. Like I said, it helps that we won, obviously. It’s hard to tell 50,000 people to act the right way. I think that’s one of the amazing things about the Ryder Cup is the home fans or at way fans and the atmosphere that it creates."

Tommy Fleetwood also stated that he had several close friends who were Americans present at Bethpage Black last week. His loved ones told him that they will be rooting for him to play his best while also cheering on for their country at the 2025 Ryder Cup.

The 2025 Tour Championship winner ended his press conference at the 2025 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship by letting the golf community know that Team Europe came into Bethpage Black prepared to deal with tough crowds. He stated that their incredible win and performance throughout the week was a great testament to their preparations.
