Skechers athlete Matt Fitzpatrick captured his third career PGA Tour victory at the Valspar Championship on the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort in Florida.
Competing in Skechers Blade GF golf shoes and Skechers Performance apparel, Fitzpatrick captured the title against a competitive field. With an exciting single-stroke victory at the end marked by his first-ever birdie on the legendary 18th hole, Fitzpatrick marked another career milestone while showcasing the performance and comfort of Skechers Golf on one the Tour’s most challenging courses.
“It felt incredible to secure my third PGA Tour win at the Valspar Championship,” said Matt Fitzpatrick. “The Copperhead Course is a true challenge, so staying comfortable and focused is essential. The support and comfort provided by my Skechers Golf shoes and apparel made a real difference, helping me maintain my concentration and perform at my best throughout the tournament.”
“It’s been an exciting month for Matt Fitzpatrick, and winning the Valspar Championship tournament is a true reflection of his talent and determination,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “Being part of his journey this season is an honor for the Company and inspiring for the design team as they achieve new heights and innovations in our Skechers Golf footwear. Matt’s win underscores how Skechers delivers our signature comfort that performs which helps elevate any golfer’s game, no matter where they play.”
After a successful amateur career, Fitzpatrick turned pro at the age of 19. The English native earned his first professional victory in 2015 at the British Masters at Woburn Golf Club. The following year, he was selected for the Ryder Cup European team and went on to win the 2016 DP World Tour Championship. Since his professional debut, Fitzpatrick has achieved 11 wins on the European Tour, including his most recent victory at the 2025 DP World Tour Championship. He now holds three PGA Tour wins, highlighted by his first major championship title in June 2022 at the U.S. Open and his latest triumph at the 2026 Valspar Championship. Fitzpatrick also played a key role in the 2025 Ryder Cup, contributing to Team Europe’s success.
