Matt Fitzpatrick and Alex Fitzpatrick’s win at the Zurich Classic means there’s a new gear free agent on the PGA Tour.

With the team victory, Alex earns a PGA Tour membership through the end of the 2028 PGA Tour season while Matt becomes 2026’s first three-time winner.

Like his brother, Alex is a gear-free agent (aside from Matt’s deal with Bettinardi for his putter) and his bag, while not quite as unique as his brother’s, has a few neat quirks to it, including his three TaylorMade Qi4D fairways (making for five TM fairways between the brothers) and his Vokey WedgeWorks A+-Grind lob wedge.

As is often a talking point at the Zurich, both Fitzpatricks play a version of the Titleist Pro V1x, so switching between the two models likely wasn’t a big issue for the team.

Titleist Vokey WedgeWorks SM11 A+ Grind Custom Wedge

The A+ Grind is a mid-bounce wedge that originated from removing the grind lines from an M Grind — the same modification that turns an L Grind into an A. Because of this, the A+ moves faster through the turf than its related M Grind, but it features more bounce and a wider sole than the A. This helps the A+ Grind excel in firm to neutral conditions. “On tour over the years, we started seeing some loyal M Grind players who were finding that sole to be a little too bouncy for their liking,” said Dill. “Those players found the leading edge of the A+ sat a bit lower, and the wedge moved faster through the ground, unlocking a bit more versatility.” The 2013 Masters champion is one such player, regularly gaming a 58A+ on the PGA TOUR.

The post Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick’s clubs: What’s in their 2026 Zurich Classic winning-bags appeared first on Golf.

Matt Fitzpatrick will collect a check, but really, Alex Fitzpatrick will emerge from this week’s Zurich Classic as the winner.

You needed only to watch the scene on the 18th green on Sunday evening at the Zurich Classic to know that was true. It was there, on the 18th, that the Fitzpatrick Brothers emerged victorious after a glorious mid-range sand-shot from elder brother (and U.S. Open champ) Matt. And it was there, on the 18th, that Alex realized the fulfillment of his greatest life dream.

“Yeah, I’m still lost for words,” Alex Fitzpatrick said afterward, still gobsmacked. “Just an overwhelming emotion of happiness. Like Matt said, at the start of the week it was coming here to be a family and spend time with each other, eat Mr. B’s, and have a great week. To be sitting here now and done what we did, yeah, I’m pretty speechless.”

If you wanted to know why Alex Fitzpatrick was speechless, the trophy celebration didn’t provide all the answers. You see, his win was bigger than just a title at a PGA Tour event, and bigger than a winner’s check. By winning at the Zurich, the younger Fitzpatrick also clinched a series of career-altering perks, which we list in their entirety below.

What Alex Fitzpatrick really won at the Zurich Classic

1. A PGA Tour card

The biggest and most significant benefit of Alex Fitzpatrick’s victory is PGA Tour status. By virtue of a winner’s exemption, Alex earned full PGA Tour status through the end of 2028, giving him the rarest gift in pro golf — job security — for the next 18 months.

2. A PGA Championship invite

Hopefully Alex hadn’t planned out his spring break for the second week in May, because those plans went up in smoke the second his final putt hit the bottom of the cup. Fitzpatrick earned an invite into the PGA Championship at Aronimink with his win, giving him his second career major championship start, following only the 2023 Open Championship.

3. A Players Championship invite

Thanks to his victory on Sunday, Fitzpatrick will also play in the PGA Tour’s flagship event next March at TPC Sawgrass.

4. Signature Events!

If you’re a player with $3 million in career earnings and you’re hoping to multiply your bank account, the Tour’s $20 million Signature Events series is a pretty good place to start. Fitzpatrick will have the chance to do exactly that over the coming months thanks to the Signature Events invites he received on Sunday evening. Fitzpatrick will spend the rest of his 2026 teeing up in some of the most lucrative events in golf, including the Cadillac Championship, Truist Championship, Memorial Tournament and Travelers Championship.

5. $1,375,000

Fitzpatrick’s win wasn’t just about money, but it was a little bit about money. He’d won $3 million in his career as a pro prior to Sunday’s victory, and he won nearly half of that total on Sunday evening, adding $1.375 million to his career earnings with the win.

Not shabby, Alex! Not shabby.

The post Here’s everything a PGA Tour win gave Matt Fitzpatrick’s brother Alex appeared first on Golf.

Most weeks on the PGA Tour, the results of victory are best measured in millions of dollars. Just not this week, at the Zurich Classic. The biggest impact of this week’s event was always of a different form — it would mean full PGA Tour membership for someone who didn’t have it, as numerous non-PGA Tour winners found themselves in contention. 

Littered among the pack was one of the best golfers on the planet, Matt Fitzpatrick, paired up with his younger brother, Alex. Even if Alex isn’t a top 5 player in the world, he’s been playing like one of the 100 best in recent months. He is no slouch, as evidenced by his recent win on the DP World Tour, but he was not a Tour member when he woke up Sunday morning, earning entry as a sponsor’s exemption.

But as Sunday played out and tension increased on the back nine, the Brothers Fitzpatrick seemed to grow tight. They turned to the back nine with a four-shot lead but surrendered it in an hour’s time. Two different duos reached the clubhouse at 30 under and tied for the lead. But the Fitzpatrick’s would have the last chance to end it in regulation. 

Matt ripped a drive 322 yards into the fairway, offering Alex a hero moment. But younger brother — after carrying his brother, according to Matt at least, on the back nine — dumped his 9-wood into the greenside bunker short of the hole. Suddenly, a playoff looked incredibly likely. 

Alex still had an overnight flight back to Turkey for next week’s Turkish Airlines Open on the DPWT. But he had also done enough to put the ball in the hands of the No. 3 player in the world. From the center of the bunker, Matt Fitzpatrick took a full lash at it, carrying the ball all the way to the hole and spinning it back inside of one foot. 

“I got to the ball, and the lie was unbelievable,” Matt said later. “I couldn’t have placed it on a better tee. So I knew I was going to have to hit it, wind it all the way there.

“Did I plan that perfectly? Honestly, no, but you know, yeah, I played it to perfection. What more can I say?”

Alex shot his hands in the air when he saw the result, surely in part because his putt to become a PGA Tour member was as sure a thing as can be. He let the other pair playing with them finish out before remarking their ball and tapping in and dropping into a crouch with his head in his hands. In that moment, he wasn’t just the newest member of the PGA Tour. He had booked full status on Tour for 2027 and 2028, too.

That two-years-plus Tour-winner exemption is the biggest prize most pro golfers are constantly in pursuit of. It implies job security and the ability to select your schedule with clarity — not needing to see where you ranked to figure out if you’d get into any fields. It’s also one of the key things up for debate in the board room deciding the future competitive structure of the Tour. Should a highly meritocratic Tour be guaranteeing places to players years in advance? Not everyone thinks so. But that’ll get decided in the months to come, and Alex Fitzpatrick got his uncommon victory in at exactly the right time. In the post-round press conference, he was asked if he would be accepting this one-way ticket to pro golf’s promised land.

“I am, indeed,” Alex said, giddy. “I signed as quick as I could. I’m still shaking, and yeah, it was crazy.”

He no longer needs to jump on that flight to Turkey, because winning a Tour event in 2026 also pushes you instantly into the biggest fields in the sport for the next two months. Alex will now be in the fields of this coming week’s Signature Event, the Cadillac Championship, and the three others that follow this season: the Truist Championship, the Memorial Tournament and the Travelers Championship. He also earns a spot in this year’s PGA Championship, two weeks from now at Aronimink in Philadelphia, and next year’s Players Championship. So yeah, the month of May will be a sign of things to come for pro golf fans: there is a second Fitzpatrick on Tour. You’ll be seeing a lot of him.
