It's been a long time coming, but Tommy Fleetwood is finally a PGA Tour champion.

The 34-year-old, who entered the final round of Tour Championship at 16-under, shot a two-under 68 on Sunday to capture both the tournament and the season-long FedEx Cup title. He finished three strokes ahead of both Russell Henley and Patrick Cantlay to clinch it.

The win marks Fleetwood's first win on the PGA Tour in 164(!) starts. He's long been known as one of the best players on Tour without a victory, and so naturally, the sports world—including the likes of LeBron James and Caitlin Clark—was fired up for the long-time pro. Here are some of the best reactions to Fleetwood's win from across social media:

Congrats and 🫡 @TommyFleetwood1!!! That first one feeling is something else! Especially after dealing with adversity and shortcomings. Too 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏆

Cynicism mostly rules the day - especially on here - so it’s fun to see how many people are genuinely pulling for Fleetwood to finish this off.

He’s as good a dude as you think and he’s stood in and answered the ?’s when chances slipped away.

Quite a pot of gold at the end.

"I think it would be pretty funny if I won this week and then got the FedExCup as well."

Incredible ending to the Tommy Fleetwood 2020s coming-up-short rollercoaster ride. Maybe there’s hope for James Harden!
