Following the video, an array of reactions flooded in from fans, showcasing a variety of opinions and sentiments. Even the Travelers Championship itself expressed surprise, stating, “This is not how we remember it…”

One fan congratulated Bradley, exclaiming, “Amazing! Congrats, Keegan.”

Another fan playfully remarked, “Keegan crushing it on and off the course the past 7 days.”

However, some fans focused their attention on the trophy itself, offering critiques.

One fan voiced disappointment, asserting, “That trophy is so weak, y’all really gotta step it up.”

Another fan raised a question, asking, “Out of all the money the PGA takes in with the local tournaments, why are they so cheap with the trophies?”

Fans also spoke of their personal connections to the tournament and their admiration for Bradley’s achievement.

A New England golfer expressed excitement, stating, “Congrats on the win! Special win for all of us New England golfers! I’ve been going to the Travelers for years when it was the GHO.”

Meanwhile, a fan revealed their successful bet, sharing, “Not a huge gamble, but I did turn a $2 bet into $140 by picking you to win! Thank you, sir!!”
