Matt Fitzpatrick and brother Alex to team up for the 2023 Zurich Classic

Matt Fitzpatrick will be playing alongside his brother in the Zurich Classic. Matt and Alex will be teaming up for the first time in their respective careers. Fitzpatrick shared the news with a hilarious screenshot text exchange with his brother.

He gave him the dates of the Zurich Classic and asked him if he was free. His brother said yes, but wondered why. Matt casually said they could play the Classic, to which Alex agreed.

As easy as that!! 😂
