2026 Fantasy Outlook
It seems like Fitzpatrick has been around for decades with all the career swings, but this will only be his seventh full season on the PGA Tour. In that time he's gone from underacheiver, to major winner, to stuck in a long drought and now he perhaps is on his way back to the form that won the 2022 U.S. Open. Fitzpatrick peaked during the 2022-2023 seasons, when he earned a combined $15 million and posted three wins, including the aforementioned major. Fitgerald's drought in 2024 (a season mind you, that he earned nearly $4 million) might have been a result of raised expectations. Sure, he wasn't himself for a long stretch, but he still managed to post some solid numbers. Now that expectations have been reset, Fitzgerald has a chance to over perform once again. With that in mind, Fitzgerald should be considered for salary cap leagues this season. Read Past Outlooks
Collects third PGA win of 2026
Matt and his brother, Alex Fitzpatrick, won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans by one stroke with a 31-under cumulative score.
ANALYSIS
Matt was coming off the heels of a playoff victory over Scottie Scheffler at the RBC Heritage last week. Most of the top players in the world opted to skip the Zurich Classic in order to rest up for the next Signature Event, the Cadillac Championship, but Matt opted to stick it out in New Orleans with his brother. The duo entered Sunday with a four-stroke lead after tying the course record with a blazing 15-under 57 score Saturday, but they faced adversity in the final round to enter the 72nd hole in a three-way tie at the top of the leaderboard. In the end, it was Matt who came up clutch, with his third shot from the green-side bunker landing within a foot from the hole, allowing Alex to seal the victory with a tap-in birdie putt. Matt is the first to three PGA Tour wins of the year, and his victory in New Orleans now has him at the top of the FedExCup Standings ahead of Scheffler; more importantly to Matt is the Zurich Classic win earned Alex a PGA exemption through the end of the 2028 season, which comes with exemptions to Signature Events, this year's PGA Championship and THE PLAYERS in 2027. Matt will take at least a week off, but Alex will make the most of his new status by teeing off in the Cadillac Championship.

2019
Fitzpatrick was seemingly marked for greatness about five years ago, and while it took a little time for him to reach an elite level, he got there in 2022 when he won his first major. Not satisfied with his accomplishments in 2022, Fitzpatrick had an even better season in 2023, capturing two wins and over $8 million in earnings. 2024 was a different story, however, as he failed to win and only posted three top-10s all season. In the end, his earnings had dropped by over 50%, and while that's bad news for Fitzpatrick, it's great news for those interested in him for salary cap purposes this season. Fitzpatrick isn't quite a "must-have" at this number, but he deserves a lot of consideration as he's bound to bounce back this season.
