Golfers Sahith Theegala, Akshay Bhatia, and Sudarshan Yellamaraju are poised to make an impact at the Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral Golf Club this week.
MIAMI, FL – This week, golfers Sahith Theegala, Akshay Bhatia, and Sudarshan Yellamaraju are drawing attention at the Cadillac Championship, taking place at the Trump National Doral Golf Club.
The trio, all competing on the PGA TOUR, represents the growing presence of players of Indian origin in top-tier international golf. Each golfer enters the tournament in promising form, eager to showcase their skills on a challenging course.
Sahith Theegala has emerged as one of the most consistent performers on the PGA TOUR this season. Although he is still in search of his first victory of 2026, Theegala has recorded four top-10 finishes in just 11 starts. His recent performances have highlighted his aggressive playing style and impressive short-game ability, which are expected to complement the demanding layout of the Doral course.
Akshay Bhatia, another American golfer on the PGA TOUR, has continued his rapid ascent in the sport. Already a winner this season, Bhatia is known for his composure under pressure and his ability to score well in elite fields. His strong track record makes him a formidable contender at this week’s championship.
Adding further depth to the field is Sudarshan Yellamaraju, a professional golfer of Indian origin. His participation underscores the expanding global footprint of Indian-origin players in professional golf, highlighting the increasing diversity in the sport.
The absence of reigning Masters champion Rory McIlroy, a four-time major winner from Northern Ireland, has opened the field for other competitors. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler enters the tournament as the leading favorite, following consecutive runner-up finishes at the Masters and the RBC Heritage.
As the Cadillac Championship unfolds, all eyes will be on Theegala, Bhatia, and Yellamaraju as they aim to leave their mark on this prestigious event.
According to India West, the growing representation of Indian-origin golfers is a testament to the sport’s evolving landscape.
