Alex Fitzpatrick officially accepted PGA Tour membership following his emotional victory alongside his brother, Matt, in last week's Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
His decision hardly is a surprise, given he said as much following the win, which their parents were on hand to witness.
'I am, indeed, yeah, yeah. I signed as quick as I could. I'm still shaking, and yeah, it was crazy,' the 27-year-old Englishman said during a media interaction at TPC Louisiana on Sunday.
The win was the first on the PGA Tour in his 11th career start for Fitzpatrick, who is now exempt through the 2028 season and is eligible to compete in this week's Cadillac Championship, the fifth of eight Signature Events this season. The DP World Tour player also qualified for the remaining three -- the Truist Championship, the Memorial Tournament and the Travelers Championship -- as well as the 2026 PGA Championship and the 2027 The Players Championship.
Fitzpatrick turned professional in 2022 after his collegiate career at Wake Forest.
