All Square 4 min read • 27 Apr

Matt Fitzpatrick and his brother Alex delivered a memorable breakthrough at the 2026 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, combining sharp teamwork and steady execution to claim a dramatic victory at TPC Louisiana. Competing in one of the PGA Tour’s most distinctive team formats, the Fitzpatrick duo produced a composed and highly efficient week, ultimately finishing at 31-under-par. Their chemistry was evident throughout, with Matt’s experience at the highest level blending seamlessly with Alex’s fearless play, culminating in a closing stretch that secured a landmark family triumph.

Both brothers brought well-defined but complementary setups into the team event. Matt Fitzpatrick relied on a Titleist GT3 driver (9°) paired with a Mitsubishi Tensei AV Raw Orange shaft, supported by TaylorMade Qi35 fairway woods and a mixed set of Ping irons — i210 long irons and S55 scoring irons — built for precision and control. Around the greens, his trusted wedges and putter once again proved crucial in tight moments. Alex Fitzpatrick, meanwhile, played a more modern, fairway-wood-heavy setup featuring multiple TaylorMade Qi4D fairways, a blended iron package, and a Vokey WedgeWorks lob wedge, giving him versatility and creativity across the course. Together, their equipment choices reflected a balance of experience and aggression that suited the demands of team golf perfectly.

This victory also reinforced just how far both brothers have come in their careers. Matt, already a major champion and established PGA Tour winner, continued his exceptional 2026 form with another title added to his résumé. Alex, meanwhile, used the week as a breakthrough moment on a global stage, proving he belongs at the highest level and earning significant career momentum from the result. More than just a win, the Zurich Classic became a defining family achievement — one that showcased not only elite golf, but also the rare dynamic of two brothers succeeding together under the brightest lights.
