2026 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
T12 at BMW Championship
Bhatia recorded a two-under 68 in the final round of the BMW Championship to finish tied for 12th.
ANALYSIS
Bhatia shot two-under or better in three of his four rounds at Bellerive Country Club. It was a solid performance from the lefty after missing the cut at both The Open and Rocket Classic and finishing 68th last week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Bhatia finished the tournament fifth in scrambling, 10th in SG: Around and 13th in SG: Approach, though he also lost 2.84 strokes off the tee, which was 48th out of the 50-man field. Up next is the TOUR Championship, where Bhatia finished T13 last year.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Bhatia won a PGA Tour event for the second consecutive season with his triumph at the Valero Texas Open. He nearly added another one at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, but bogeyed the final hole to miss the playoff after leading for much of the week. For as good as Bhatia was with his 12 top-25s, eight missed cuts is also a little high for a guy that strikes the ball as well as he does. He's still only 23 years old, so you'd expect him to continue to refine his short game which ranked outside the top-115 in SG: Around-the-Green each of the last two seasons. Bhatia did find a new putter which helped him go from 183rd in SG: Putting to 33rd this past season. Expect him to land inside the top-10 more than three times in 2025.
