In the world of professional golf, sibling rivalries are nothing new—but the Fitzpatrick brothers are rewriting the script in a way no one saw coming.

Matt Fitzpatrick is a name golf fans know well: a major champion (2022 U.S. Open), a three-time winner already this season, and a seasoned veteran of both the PGA Tour and European circuits. But at this week's PGA Championship, all eyes are on his younger brother, Alex.

Until recently, Alex Fitzpatrick didn't even have a PGA Tour card. Now, he's sharing a room with his big brother at one of golf's biggest events—and the story of how he got here is nothing short of remarkable.

Four years Matt's junior, Alex earned his first Tour card in dramatic fashion this April. Playing alongside his brother as a team in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the duo emerged victorious, securing Alex's spot in the PGA Championship field. It was a breakthrough moment that changed everything.

"Super proud of him for how he's been playing and following up the win at Zurich with two brilliant, brilliant weeks," Matt told Golf Channel. "I'm probably known as Alex's brother now, as opposed to him being Matt's brother. It's an amazing position to be in."

While Matt's path to glory was paved with European Tour titles and a major championship, Alex's journey has been more of a grind. He played college golf at Wake Forest, didn't make his PGA Tour debut until the 2022 Valspar Championship, and spent significant time on the European Challenge Tour—the second-tier competition across the pond. He never won on the DP World Tour, but his determination never wavered.

Now, with two Fitzpatrick brothers making noise on the biggest stages, the golf world is taking notice. Whether it's Matt's proven pedigree or Alex's meteoric rise, one thing is clear: this family duo is here to stay, and they're bringing their A-game to courses everywhere.
