I’ve searched about this and that what I’ve found. I found a question says "As I understand it, non-American English speakers often congratulate someone on a job well done by saying "good on you" or "good on ya, mate."
On NPR yesterday, I heard an American English speaker use this congratulation in the third person:
He's played baseball for a long time, and if he can play another season, as old as he is, then good on him.
Can "good on ya" sound right in the third person?"
There were a lot of answers. But most of them agreed on this "This is rarley used in American English. Most people say "good for you/him/them/etc." "
And there was one who answered ""Good on you" in "American English" usually refers to clothing... "That shirt looks good on you!" "
