Alex Fitzpatrick says how PGA Tour players have treated him since he got his card to join

Fitzpatrick won the Hero Indian Open on the DP World Tour on one of the most difficult golf courses on the planet, so he’s ready to take on the Blue Monster at Doral in this wicked test of golf.

Suddenly, his schedule features some of the biggest events on some of the most iconic golf courses in America. But does he now plan to direct all of his attention to the PGA Tour, or is he staying loyal to his DP World Tour roots?

Alex Fitzpatrick says if he still plans to play on the DP World Tour

Fitzpatrick’s schedule has changed dramatically now he’s earned a PGA Tour card, but there are still some incredible events in countries all over the world on the DP World Tour.

With that in mind, the Englishman explained how he plans to balance his schedule between the two tours: “I was meant to be playing Turkey. I think it went Turkey, Barcelona, and then there was a week off for the PGA and then it was actually back in Europe. Which I love, I love being back in Europe. That side of the schedule is amazing.

“The first half of the year it can be really, really tough with all the travel to, I mean I did Australia, Kenya, India, I kind of travelled all over the world. I’m glad I didn’t have to, I’m glad I took the flight from New Orleans to Miami, which was like two hours. That made it a little easier.

“But, yeah, I sat down with my caddie on Monday morning, we had breakfast together, and we looked at some of the events and it was like, wow, this is crazy, this doesn’t feel real.

“And even walking on to the range yesterday morning was, yesterday afternoon, was like, it feels weird to be here. This is something I’m not used to. So, yeah, going to try and hopefully make it feel more like home and hopefully play some good golf.”

He was asked if he plans to keep playing on the DP World Tour, he said, “Yeah. You know, I’ll definitely play in the events that I can. I mean, the DP World Tour have been amazing to me since coming out of college they have helped me out a lot.

“They have given me some invites. They have looked after me like a family. So going back is important to me and playing in some events and making sure I do the right thing is, yeah, it’s important, and I’m excited to do that.”

Once the PGA Tour playoffs are done, many of the European players like Rory McIlroy turn their attention to the Race to Dubai for the back end of the DP World Tour season, so expect Fitzpatrick to do the same.
