Matt Fitzpatrick Glad to Cede Spotlight to Brother Alex at PGA
Alex Fitzpatrick’s breakout run has shifted the spotlight as the brothers share a major stage after their Zurich Classic team victory.
- Matt Fitzpatrick and younger brother Alex Fitzpatrick arrive at Aronimink Golf Club in Philadelphia this week for the PGA Championship, both gunning for major success as two of golf's most in-form players.
- Following their Zurich Classic victory in April, Alex secured a two-year PGA Tour card while rising from 203rd to 83rd in world rankings, transforming his career trajectory.
- Alex has earned about $2.84 million in two signature events since the Zurich win, though Matt admits it would be a "weird feeling" if the pair were in direct contention for the major title.
- Sharing a house this week, the brothers jokingly traded jabs about who is messier during Monday practice rounds at Aronimink, maintaining their playful dynamic before competition.
- While Matt chases his second major title following his 2022 U.S. Open win, Alex aims to continue his rapid rise, admitting his "head is still spinning" from recent success.
