Team Fitzpatrick Trusts Pro V1x to Win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans

PGA TOUR | Zurich Classic of New Orleans

Brothers and fellow Pro V1x players Matt Fitzpatrick and Alex Fitzpatrick birdied the 72nd hole Sunday to win the PGA TOUR’s two-man team event, leading a 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 finish for teams playing Titleist golf balls.

  • From the bunker, 35 yards to the hole on TPC Louisiana’s par-5 18th, Matt Fitzpatrick’s Pro V1x took two hops, spun and stopped 14 inches from the cup, setting up the tap-in birdie that earned the Fitzpatricks a one-shot victory.
  • It’s Matt Fitzpatrick’s second consecutive title, following last week’s playoff win at the RBC Heritage, and third victory in his last four starts on the PGA TOUR, pushing him to No. 1 on the FedExCup Points List.
  • His first win of 2026 at the Valspar Championship came the week after his runner-up finish at THE PLAYERS. 
  • The victory also granted Alex Fitzpatrick, who last month captured his first title on the DP World Tour, immediate full-time status on the PGA TOUR through the 2028 season.

TOP-9 SWEEP FOR TEAMS PLAYING TITLEIST GOLF BALLS

MATT FITZPATRICK ON THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS PRO V1x 

  • “There’s obviously so many different variables with a golf ball. I’ve always been kind of a lower flight player but I am kind of high spin, so that’s where I feel like my game is at with the golf ball. To be able to rely on the golf ball and know that it’s going to do what I want it to do – have a consistent flight, consistent spin with every shot that I hit – that’s so important. Having that ability to know what your ball is going to do rather than second guessing makes a hell of a difference and obviously makes you more comfortable. And from there you’re going to hit better golf shots. I love the golf ball that I’m in, it just works perfectly for my game.”  
  • “The reason [Pro V1x] is so good for me is feel. I like the harder feel off the club face. I just feel like the spin’s consistent, the flight’s consistent, and that’s what you need in a golf ball. You don’t need it kind of in different windows. It’s nice to have that consistency to have the confidence in the golf ball to know how far it’s going to go every time, and to be within a really tight deviation is obviously so important. This is a game of inches after all, the margins are so fine you want it to be as tight as possible. So that’s why I play Pro V1x because it’s exactly that, you know what you’re going to get every shot and you don’t get any strange effects from shots.”  

  • “You just know, hitting other golf balls, that as soon as you’ve hit it, it doesn’t have the same effect. I’ve messed around with balls on the range when they’ve been mixed into the Pro V1x bag that I always go to grab, and they just get funky flights. I don’t know how you can play golf with that, to be honest, and not knowing what you’re going to get from shot to shot.”  
  • “I feel like, for me, the firmer the ball is, the more I can control the spin. That’s always nice for me (with Pro V1x), knowing that I can increase spin, and take spin off it. That’s been the big thing. I know for a fact I can flight the ball easy, much easier, up and down, with the ball that I use.”  
  • “I’ve been Pro V1x ever since I was probably about 15. It was always the best ball. There was never anything else for me growing up, to be honest. That’s all I’ve ever known.”
