Akshay Bhatia’s Winning WITB at the 2026 Arnold Palmer Invitational

All Square 3 min read • 9 Mar

Arnold Palmer Invitational delivered plenty of drama in 2026, and it was Akshay Bhatia who ultimately emerged as the champion at Bay Hill Club & Lodge. The 24-year-old left-hander staged an impressive Sunday comeback, erasing a late deficit before defeating Daniel Berger in a playoff. The victory marked one of the biggest moments of Bhatia’s young career and added another PGA Tour title to his growing résumé.

Bhatia’s performance throughout the week showcased the fearless style of play that has defined his rise in professional golf. After turning pro straight out of high school in 2019, the former amateur standout gradually established himself as one of the Tour’s most exciting young talents. His creative shot-making and confident putting were on full display at Bay Hill, particularly during a clutch final round that pushed him into extra holes.

A key part of that winning performance was the equipment setup that helped him navigate one of the most demanding courses on the PGA Tour. From the driver and fairway woods to his irons, wedges, and distinctive long putter, Bhatia relied on a carefully selected bag of clubs throughout the week. Let’s take a closer look at the clubs he used to win the tournament and review them in detail.
