2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bhatia's best showing in 2025 was a T3 at THE PLAYERS Championship. He added three other top-10s throughout the campaign and was one of the top birdie-makers on Tour. His combination of iron play and putting led to a lot of red numbers, as he ranked top 15 in SG: Approach and putts per GIR. The rest of the game has big room for improvement, however, finishing the season outside the top 140 on Tour in total driving, SG: Around-the-Green and scrambling. Bhatia has proven he can win on the PGA Tour, and at just 23, he's going to be contending for wins for years to come. Bhatia isn't a long-hitter, so he needs to work on finding more fairways so he can take advantage of that great iron play. He's also never been top 100 in SG: Around-the-Green, but if he's able to do that in 2026 that could lead to a true breakout campaign. Read Past Outlooks

Wins Arnold Palmer Invitational
March 8, 2026
Bhatia posted a 15-under cumulative score at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and won the tournament after beating Daniel Berger on the first playoff hole.
ANALYSIS
Bhatia spent most of Sunday chasing Berger, the latter of whom built a huge lead for himself after opening the tournament with a nine-under 63 first round. Bhatia struggled to a two-over front nine in the final round and sat five strokes back heading into the back nine, but he turned things around and put the pressure on Berger with four consecutive birdies from holes 10 to 14, and the former rebounded from a bogey on the par-4 15th with an eagle on the par-5 16th. The duo were tied at the end of 72 holes, but Bhatia closed things out on the first playoff hole on the 18th with a par after Berger posted a three-putt bogey for the first time all tournament. It was the third PGA Tour victory of Bhatia's career and his first since the Valero Texas Open in April of 2024. Thanks to three top-6 finishes over his last four Tour events, the 24-year-old lefty sits second in the FedExCup Standings behind Collin Morikawa heading into THE PLAYERS Championship next week. Bhatia finished T3 at THE PLAYERS in 2025 after missing the cut the year prior.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Bhatia secured his first career PGA Tour win last season bringing home the title at the Barracuda Championship. The win was one of two top-3 and four top-10 finishes on the season for Bhatia who made just under 70 percent of cuts. While his putter tends to let him down, Bhatia is well above average at SG:Off-The-Tee and SG:Approach to Green.
