Alex Fitzpatrick’s golf career has been completely transformed in just two weeks—both on the scorecard and in the bank account.
Before last week’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the younger brother of Matt Fitzpatrick had zero status on the PGA Tour. He was grinding it out on the DP World Tour, building his game and hoping for a breakthrough. Then, everything changed.
Matt Fitzpatrick, currently ranked world number four, invited Alex to be his partner in the Zurich Classic. The duo delivered under pressure, sinking a birdie on the final hole to win the tournament. That victory alone gave Alex a PGA Tour card through the 2028 season—a career-defining moment.
But Alex didn’t stop there. He followed up with a strong tie for ninth at the Cadillac Championship in Miami, proving his win was no fluke. In just two PGA Tour starts, he’s earned a staggering $1,872,750—an average of $936,375 per event.
To put that in perspective, Alex played 87 tournaments on the DP World Tour over the course of his career, earning a total of $3,292,696. That works out to an average of $37,847 per event. In other words, he’s made more than half of his career DP World Tour earnings in just two weeks on the PGA Tour.
Even this season alone, Alex has earned $688,000 across 10 DP World Tour events—including a win in India back in March. But the PGA Tour’s massive prize purses have taken his earnings to a whole new level.
It’s been a whirlwind two weeks for the 24-year-old Englishman, and he’s probably still checking his bank account in disbelief. With his PGA Tour status secured through 2028 and life-changing money already in hand, Alex Fitzpatrick is now playing with freedom—and that could make him even more dangerous.
