Well, to become one of the world’s most consistent performers, Fitzpatrick acknowledged the importance of surrounding himself with a world-class team.

Therefore, he hired Mike Walker as his coach.

Walker has overseen Fitzpatrick’s development as a golfer for many years and has helped him blossom into the player he is today.

The English coach has proven himself as one of the most highly regarded in the game and his work has been instrumental to the success of a handful of big names.

As well as working with Fitzpatrick, Walker has coached Danny Willett, Thomas Bjorn, Lee Westwood and Paul Lawrie among others.

To achieve that, Walker has worked closely alongside another top coach – who Fitzpatrick also calls part of his team: Pete Cowen.

Cowen, who also hails from Fitzpatrick’s hometown of Sheffield, is one of the best-known coaches in the game.

He has worked with multiple major champions including Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia and Brooks Koepka.

He had a career as a pro in the 1970s and 1980s, winning the Zambia Open, before moving into coaching.

In addition to Walker and Cowen, Fitzpatrick also has a dedicated putting coach in the form of the legendary Phil Kenyon.

• Who is Bryson DeChambeau’s coach?

While he has been an exceptional putter from a young age, some of Fitzpatrick’s success is undoubtedly due to his arduous work with Kenyon, who works with a number of golf’s superstars.

Since moving into his mid-20s, Fitzpatrick added plenty of muscle and swing speed to his armoury, largely thanks to his strength and conditioning coach Matt Roberts.

He oversees the golfer’s program, whilst performance coach Steve Robinson identifies areas for improvement.

Overall, those figures make up a team of world-class coaches who ensure all aspects of Fitzpatrick’s game both on and off the golf course are at the highest level.

And in 2024, he added baseball coach Andrew Lysy to his backroom operation.

Lysy is a highly qualified strength and conditioning coach and it’s believed the pair met towards the end of 2023.

“It started when I was telling a few guys I’d bought a place in Florida to use as a base for my PGA Tour schedule,” Fitzpatrick said.

“One of them said my house was right across the road from the Cressey Sports Performance headquarters, and that I should check them out. I took his advice, and I was just blown away by what Andrew did for me.”
