The golf world has seen its fair share of love and relationships. From the ever-adorable duo of Brooks Koepka and Jena Sims to the inseparable pair of Phil and Amy Mickelson, many couples have headlined the lovey-dovey side of golf! And now, just weeks ahead of one of the most prestigious tournaments ever in the game, Matt Fitzpatrick has gone ahead and joined that cohort with his significant other!

The English golfer had managed to keep his private life away from the eyes of many, especially that of his girlfriend. But now Fitzpatrick has taken to his social media handle in a bid to let the world know the next step he has taken in his life with her by his side.

Matt Fitzpatrick makes a huge reveal about his love life

Fitzpatrick has had a good year so far on the course. He even saw a win at the RBC Canadian Open. Arguably, a lot of his success can be attributed to the love and support he has received from his significant other, both on and off the course. And the 29-year-old has decided to keep her close, as he got down on his knees to propose to his girlfriend, Katherine Gaal, just weeks before the Ryder Cup.

In a post shared by the English professional on his Instagram, the golfer is seen on his knees with a ring, all the while hugging Gaal, who said yes to him when he popped the question!

The couple can be seen all smiles under an arch made of flowers, something that the European Ryder Cup player must have planned for sure to make the moment more beautiful. The 2013 USA pageant runner-up was nothing short of happy as she commented “YES ❤️” under the original post.

The 2022 US Open champion’s fiancé has been quite successful in her career, much like the golfer. She graduated with a GPA of 3.67 in broadcast journalism, followed by majoring in the finance field before establishing a career in marketing. Well, one can’t help but throw some wishes at the couple who are planning the next step of their life together. Let us now take a look at what the golf community had to say.

One fan went ahead to make fun of the golfer, mentioning how he made every preparation to ensure a great proposal. He went ahead to comment, “Immediately wrote down stats about the proposal. Temperature. Humidity. Pants and shoe sizes. How many times she blinked. How long she held her breath for. Time from presenting the ring to putting it on her finger. How long she stayed angry for because he was writing in his notebook when she wanted to kiss him.”

There was a person who commented on his choice of shoes, Sketchers. He went ahead to say, “Sketchers: perfect for every occasion”.

Some fans were exhilarated as they mentioned how he went from being single to being committed really quick, as they commented, “My boy went from single on full swing to proposing real quick”.

Another person went ahead to talk about how his golf game is gone now, citing examples of other golfers. He went ahead to comment, “There goes his golf game #facts just ask the others…Fowler, JT, Jordan”.

There was a fan who mentioned teaching his kids the game early on in his life, as he hilariously commented, “Put a golf club in your kid’s hands early”.
