Tommy Fleetwood’s first PGA Tour win sparked global celebration, with LeBron James, Caitlin Clark, Justin Rose and more leading heartfelt tributes.
Tommy Fleetwood’s long-awaited PGA Tour breakthrough at the Tour Championship didn’t just end a 12-year drought but ignited a wave of celebration from some of the biggest names in sports and the golf world.
After 164 starts without a win, Fleetwood finally lifted the FedEx Cup trophy at East Lake Golf Club on Sunday, and the reaction was pure joy. It felt like a personal win for many.
Tiger Woods, who won the FedEx Cup in 2007 and 2009 and knows the weight of East Lake’s final walk better than most, led the tributes with a heartfelt message on X.
„Your journey is a reminder that hard work, resilience, and heart do pay off. No one deserves it more. Congrats @TommyFleetwood1!“ Woods typed right after Fleetwood’s win.
Justin Rose, who had narrowly beaten Fleetwood at the FedEx St. Jude Championship just two weeks earlier, was greenside to witness his fellow Englishman finally get the job done.
