And he’s now just matched a brilliant Scheffler feat, becoming the first player to win back-to-back PGA Tour events since the American in 2024.
It’s a simply stunning run from Fitzpatrick, although his brother does, of course, also deserve huge credit for helping him secure his latest victory, for which he is rightly being rewarded generously.
Along with his PGA Tour card through 2028, Alex has just earned a place in the rest of the Signature Events this year, along with next month’s PGA Championship and The Players Championship in 2027.
