In 2005, Buchholz was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame for his contribution to tennis. In 2010, Buchholz was honored by American tennis player Andy Roddick as Roddick lifted the Butch Buccholz Championship Trophy in the air, at the Key Biscayne, Sony Ericcson Open, and paid homage to the man who granted him a wild card ten years earlier. "It's nice that it's now come full circle," Roddick was quoted as saying.
