🏌️♂️ Swinging in the big bucks but not keeping every penny! Matt Fitzpatrick took the RBC Heritage trophy after an epic play-off against world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. The Yorkshireman walked away with a whopping £2.7m, marking his second tour victory in just a month. Yet, not all that glitters is gold – especially when you’ve got the taxman knocking! Fitzpatrick has to forfeit over £1m due to taxes, including a hefty federal tax and South Carolina’s “jock tax.”
Not only did he perform brilliantly on the greens, but Fitzpatrick also faced down a boisterous American crowd, silencing them with an impressive 12-foot birdie putt. 🎯 It was a moment to remember for Fitzpatrick, who’s thriving in the 2026 season with his third top-10 finish. Who wouldn’t want to be in his golf shoes right now? His stellar performance is sure to boost his position in the FedExCup standings, already sitting strong at fifth.
Fitzpatrick shared his excitement post-win: “Winning this growing up was a dream, even more than the majors. To do it twice is incredible. Going toe-to-toe with Scottie and clinching it on the 73rd was something special.”
And as for the chants of “USA! USA!” he faced, Fitzpatrick stays unfazed: “Americans are passionate, but we’ve got the Ryder Cup win in our pocket. The atmosphere is what makes the sport thrilling!”
Here’s to more thrilling victories and nail-biting finishes! Can’t wait to see what Fitzpatrick does next on the greens. 🏆⛳️
