Matt Fitzpatrick and his younger brother Alex share a dream that sounds so incredible it's practically DELOFTED-worthy: making a splash together in the 2027 Ryder Cup for Team Europe. After their PGA Tour triumph as a team in 2026, the two openly admitted that participating together in the Ryder Cup at Adare Manor in Ireland would be "as good as it gets" – meaning, it simply doesn't get any better.
This scenario isn't just a family romance. Matt Fitzpatrick delivered a season in 2026 that can confidently be described as phenomenal. With his victory at the Open de France, he secured his fourth title of the year, catapulting him to the top of the European Ryder Cup standings. Alex, who is also performing exceptionally well, has long had his older brother on his radar and is eager to be part of the 2027 team – for him, a pairing with Matt would be "at the top of the list."
A Sibling Duo for the History Books
The brothers recently mused about this possibility at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in late September 2026. Alex's rapid ascent has not only brought him into the spotlight but also earned him an invitation to an inspection trip to Adare Manor, alongside other potential European picks. A Fitzpatrick double-act would be historic, marking the second sibling pairing in Ryder Cup history after the Molinari brothers – a rare highlight in the annals of this legendary competition.
Dream or Already Reality?
Matt's current form is therefore running smoothly, bolstering his position in the European squad. For Alex, the task is to keep his foot on the gas in the coming months, as Ryder Cup qualification is a dynamic process. But the chances of this brother-duo teeing off together in 2027 and creating goosebump moments are more realistic than ever. A spectacle not to be missed!
