However, he couldn’t contain his excitement as Fleetwood launched a massive putt. Young Frankie chimed in with anticipation for apparently the ball to get in the cup as he commented, “Get in the hole! Good shot, Dada.”

Time and again, Franklin has won the golf world’s heart, and Fleetwood knows it, too. He talked about it at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

“He’s having a good time. He’s taking too much of the spotlight. We got to quieten that down. But yeah, he brought a wedge and putter yesterday and came out. And then walking down 17, I say, “You know, that bunker is like one of the deepest bunkers in the world.” He’s like, ‘Oh, I’ll have a go.’ It’s stuff like that,” said Tommy.

“It’s great for me. I love it so much. It’s definitely my favorite thing about golf—being able to play with family and stuff like that. And like I say, Frankie, yeah, too much of the stoplight. We’ve got to get him off the TV for a little bit,” shared the golfer.

One of the most recent times when Franklin caught everyone’s eye was at the 2025 Masters, when he left his dad and uncles Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy laughing. Expressing his dedication to golf, the 8-year-old told a Sky Sports reporter:

“Well, I’ve been doing my hardest to get it over the green. I’ve been practicing as hard as I can, just not reaching it this year. But I’m just trying my hardest.”

Tommy is a doting father, as much as he is a passionate golfer. He secured his maiden PGA Tour title only a couple of months back. Celebrating the milestone, his family (his wife Clare wasn’t there) joined him on the course as he lifted the Tour Championship trophy. His stepson, Oscar, for whom he’s caddied in multiple events, held the silverware with his father in an ardent fashion. The golfer shares similar close bonds with his other sons, too. Fleetwood often shares valuable moments on and off the course with his sons. Acting as their early mentor, he often shares golfing advice, words that helped Fleetwood himself with his maiden victory.

No wonder the British golfer has created a reputation as a family man among fans. Quipping on this sweet back-and-forth of the father-son duo, fans couldn’t help but comment on Frankie’s adorable commentary.

Moreover, on top of these wholesome comments, some fans took on a more playful tone. One fan noted their need for more such swing reviews by Franklin, as they teased, “Need a Frankie swing review video every day now.” However, Fleetwood’s son commands a wider fan base, as it turns out. That came through when one fan commented, “I’m a Frankie fan for life 🙌,” showcasing their attachment with the young commentator. Yet another fan underscored the golfing potential of Franklin, as they remarked, “I’d pay to play with Frankie.”
