Career path
Who is Fitzpatrick
Matthew Fitzpatrick's breakthrough arrived at the 2022 US Open, where the Sheffield-born golfer converted major potential into a major title. Before that, he won the Mark H. McCormack Medal, played college golf at Northwestern University and turned professional, settling into life across the DP World Tour and PGA Tour. His professional record now stands at 14 wins, and his Ryder Cup team is Europe. Fitzpatrick has also recorded strong major finishes at the Open and the PGA Championship, evidence of a game suited to demanding courses. He divides his time between Sheffield and Jupiter, Florida, remains active on both circuits, and the 2026 season gives him another chance to build on a career already defined by that US Open success.
