Bettinardi Tour Ambassador wins alongside younger brother, setting a tournament record en route to his third victory in four starts
Tinley Park, Ill. — Bettinardi Golf congratulates Tour Ambassador Matt Fitzpatrick on winning the 2026 Zurich Classic of New Orleans alongside his younger brother, claiming back-to-back PGA TOUR victories in consecutive weeks and his third win in four starts this season.
The Fitzpatrick brothers entered Sunday’s alternate-shot finale with a four-stroke lead after posting a tournament-record 15-under 57 in Saturday’s round. They battled nerves and a tightening leaderboard through the back nine before Matt delivered when it mattered most, escaping a greenside bunker on the par-5 18th and leaving Alex a tap-in birdie to seal a one-stroke victory at 31-under 257. The win came with Matt’s Tour Department DASS BB1 Flow in the bag, the same putter he used to win the RBC Heritage, Valspar Championship, and finish 2nd at The Players Championship.
“To win a team event on the PGA Tour with my brother — I don’t know if it gets better than that,” Fitzpatrick said. “That’s how special it feels. To get over the line the way we did and hang in there on the back nine is incredible.”
Fitzpatrick returned to the BB1 Flow earlier this season after a brief run with a BB48 mallet prototype. Since putting the blade back in play, he has climbed from 24th to 3rd in the Official World Golf Rankings, and now ranked #1 on the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup. His three PGA TOUR wins this season remain the only three decided with a blade putter: a quiet counterpoint to the mallet trend dominating Tour fields.
“Winning back-to-back is special enough on its own but doing it alongside your brother is something else entirely,” said Sam Bettinardi, President of Bettinardi Golf. “Matt’s been on an incredible run these past few weeks, and we’re very proud to be part of this moment, and to be the makers of the putter he trusts through every win.”
Fitzpatrick’s victory adds to Bettinardi’s rich heritage of more than 100 professional victories worldwide, and further establishes his position atop the FedEx Cup standings. The BB Series is available now at bettinardi.com and through authorized retailers.
