Akshay Bhatia and girlfriend Presleigh Schultz announce their Engagement

Upcoming star Akshay Bhatia announced his engagement to his girlfriend, Presleigh Schultz, on September 9.

Schultz and Bhatia have been dating since 2019 after the golfer DM'd her on Instagram. Since then, she has accompanied him to many golf events. She even caddied for him during several golf tournaments, such as last year's Simmons Bank Open and RSM Classic.

The 21-year-old golfer shared the news on his Instagram handle. He posted a few photographs of him proposing to Schultz with a ring and wrote:

"Here's to forever."

Besides carrying Bhatia's bag at several tournaments, Schultz is also a businesswoman and enjoys good popularity on social media. On Instagram, she has more than 26.4K followers, and on TikTok, she has more than 82.4K followers.

Bhatia has also been on the rise in his golf career and won his maiden PGA Tour title at the Barracuda Championship in July. His most recent appearance was at the Wyndham Championship, where he missed the cut.

Bhatia turned professional in 2019 and initially started playing on the Korn Ferry Tour. In the same year, he participated in his first PGA Tour event, the Valspar Championship. However, the result wasn't great, as he missed the cut.

Bhatia was also part of the 2019 Walker Cup-winning US team, becoming the youngest member at just 17 years old. He made his major championship debut at the 2021 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. He made the cut in his first and only major appearance and finished T57.

Akshay Bhatia's runner-up finish at the 2023 Puerto Rico Open earned him Special Temporary Member status on the PGA Tour. He did earn full status with his win at Tahoe Mountain Club in July.
