Matt Fitzpatrick heads into this week on a high after securing one of the standout wins of his PGA Tour career at the RBC Heritage in South Carolina.
It wasn’t just the victory itself that caught attention, but the way he achieved it. Finishing at 18-under after four rounds, Fitzpatrick was pushed into a playoff with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.
Despite facing a partisan crowd and one of the game’s most dominant players, he held his nerve superbly, producing a birdie on the playoff hole to seal his fourth PGA Tour title – and his second RBC Heritage crown.
Brothers Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick are 11/1 favourites with Sky Bet to win the Zurich Classic
He returns to action at the Zurich Classic today, this time in the team format, partnering his brother Alex Fitzpatrick. Alex also arrives in excellent form, having followed up a sixth-place finish at the Joburg Open with victory at the Hero Indian Open last time out.
The duo head into the event as narrow favourites with Sky Bet at 11/1, just ahead of Brooks Koepka and Shane Lowry at 12/1.
Lowry enjoyed success in this tournament as recently as 2024 alongside Rory McIlroy, and it remains to be seen whether he can replicate that form with a different partner.
Rounding out the leading contenders in the betting market are Michael Thorbjornsen and Karl Vilips, Andrew Novak and Ben Griffin, and Ryan Gerard with Sudarshan Yellamaraju, priced at 16/1, 18/1, and 18/1 respectively.
Sky Bet are also offering a couple of price boosts, including Koepka/Lowry or Fitzpatrick/Fitzpatrick to win outright at 11/2, and Penge/Wallace along with Rai/Theegala both to finish in the top 20 (including ties) at 4/1.
