While Matt Fitzpatrick’s form on the course has drawn much attention from golf analysts, commentators, and fans, much of the spotlight during the RBC Heritage has shifted to his growing family. His wife, Katherine Fitzpatrick, revealed during tournament week that she is 24 weeks pregnant with the couple’s first child. The announcement adds a deeply personal dimension to an already pivotal stretch in Fitzpatrick’s season, with the couple expecting a summer arrival.
The pair, who married in October 2024, have quickly become a well-known presence on the PGA Tour circuit. Katherine has often been seen supporting her husband at events, and her recent social media updates have given fans a glimpse into life on tour during her pregnancy. The news of their anticipated bundled of joy has been met with widespread support from fellow players and their families, which is a perfect reflection of the close-knit nature of the global golf community.
And if the soon-to-be-parents weren’t a glowing image on their own, now fans are gushing over the soon-to-be-grandparents – in particular, Matt Fitzpatrick’s dad. In the wholesome Instagram Story posted by Katherine, the brief video is captioned “Daughter-in-law who always wants a sweet treat” followed by the camera panning to Matt’s father with the caption, “Father-in-law who always wants a sweet treat.” The clip then culminates in the two toasting with their silverware as they dig into a plate of very delectable sweet creations.
