2025 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
Surges with Sunday 67
February 16, 2025
Bhatia jumped into a share of ninth place after firing a five-under 67 in the final round of The Genesis Invitational.
ANALYSIS
Bhatia's closing round tied for the fourth lowest score of the day, in which he went bogey-free with five birdies. He managed the top-10 result despite two over-par rounds and was led by his iron play, where he ranked seventh for the week in SG: Approach and T5 in GIR. It's a much-needed result for Bhatia, whose last PGA Tour top-10 came last June.

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.
