Fitzpatrick takes home first win of the season in playoff with Jordan Spieth

MENLO PARK, Calif., April 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Protiviti golf brand ambassador and professional golfer Matt Fitzpatrick achieved his first win of the 2023 season when he emerged victorious at the 55th Annual RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Fitzpatrick fired rounds of 66-70-63-68 (-17) and finished tied with Jordan Spieth after the 72nd hole. Fitzpatrick won the tournament with a birdie on the third hole of the playoff. This win marks Fitzpatrick's second PGA Tour victory and ninth professional win of his career. He is now ranked eighth in the world.

"I am so thankful for my team and my partners at Protiviti for all of the support along the way."

"We could not be more excited for Matt and our firm. It has been truly incredible to see all his hard work culminate in a victory," said Joseph Tarantino, president and CEO, Protiviti. "When we partnered with Matt in 2020, we knew he was a driven player with a bright future, and it's great to see him get his second PGA Tour win in Harbour Town, a place that holds special meaning for him and his family."

One of the PGA's 2023 designated events, the RBC Heritage featured a strong field with 17 of the top 20 golfers in the Overall World Golf Rankings (OWGR). Fitzpatrick, a Protiviti brand ambassador since 2020, won the U.S. Open in June of 2022 at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts for his first PGA tour victory.

"Winning the RBC Heritage is extra sweet for me. I vacationed in Hilton Head growing up and have so many fond memories here with my family. I am so thankful for my team and my partners at Protiviti for all of the support along the way – we've worked so hard over the years for moments like this," said Matt Fitzpatrick.
