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

Solo fourth place at Albany
December 9, 2024
Bhatia closed with a three-under 69 in the final round to finish in solo fourth place at the Hero World Challenge.
ANALYSIS
Bhatia had a bit of everything in his round on Sunday carding an eagle and four birdies against a bogey and a double-bogey on the par-5 9th. The fourth place finish was solid, but it was also 10 behind winner Scottie Scheffler. Bhatia did not have a great driving week, but was top-three in both SG: Approach and SG: Putting. He ends 2024 on a high note after a T2 at the Dunlop Phoenix Tournament a few weeks ago.

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.
