This young American golfer (born in 2002) impressed as an amateur, playing for the US in major junior events. Turning pro in 2019, he claimed wins on developmental tours before securing his PGA Tour card in 2021. Bhatia's breakout moment came in 2024 with a thrilling Valero Texas Open victory, securing him a spot in the prestigious Masters Tournament.

Here’s a look at the Bhatia’s bag:

Akshay Bhatia’s Bag

Akshay Bhatia’s Driver

Bhatia uses the Callaway Rogue ST Max driver in a 9° loft with the Fujikura Ventus Black 7X shaft, which is a combination designed for distance and precision. It offers forgiveness and maximum distance with a large sweet spot. The 7X Ventus Black Shaft is an ultra-stiff shaft for maximum control and stability, perfect for golfers with a fast swing speed like Bhatia’s.

Akshay Bhatia’s 3-Wood

Bhatia is partial towards the Callaway's Paradym Ai Smoke Max 3-wood in a 15° loft with the Fujikura Ventus Black 8TX shaft. It is a powerhouse setup designed for golfers prioritising distance and controlling off the tee. The Paradym Ai Smoke Max is also known for its innovative construction that promotes faster ball speeds, while the 15° loft provides a good balance between launch and distance.

Akshay Bhatia’s Utility Wood

In utility woods, the Callaway Apex UW 19° with a Fujikura Ventus Black 10X shaft caters to golfers seeking versatility and control. Bhatia uses this club to bridge the gap between a long iron and a fairway wood. The 19° loft allows for a higher launch than a traditional driving iron, making it easier to get the ball airborne. The Fujikura Ventus Black 10X shaft, known for its ultra-stiff flex, provides stability and control at impact, even with a longer club like this utility wood.

Akshay Bhatia’s Irons

Callaway's Apex TCB irons (5-PW) equipped with KBS $-Taper 125 S+ shafts offer a compelling option for Bhatia, who occasionally seeks a blend of performance and feel. It's designed for players who prioritise workability and control. These irons typically feature a forged construction for exceptional feel and feedback at impact.

Akshay Bhatia’s Wedges

Bhatia uses the Callaway Jaws Raw wedges in 50°, 54°, and 60° lofts, all fitted with KBS $-Taper 125 S+ shafts. They are renowned for their aggressive grooves and raw face technology; these wedges maximise spin for exceptional control around the green. This translates to more precise shot-stopping power and increased greenside confidence.

The 50°, 54°, and 60° Lofts setup provides versatility for different distances and situations on the course. The 50° wedge handles full shots and pitches from around the green, while the 54° and 60° wedges tackle progressively shorter shots and offer more control for chip shots and bunker play.

Akshay Bhatia’s Putter

Bhatia uses the Odyssey Versa Jailbird 380 Broomstick Putter with a Super Stroke Split grip.

This putter features a broomstick design, which can benefit golfers struggling with maintaining posture and alignment throughout the stroke. The Jailbird head style is known for its forgiveness and clean look.

This grip design separates the hands, promoting a more stable and consistent putting stroke. The split also encourages lighter grip pressure, leading to a better putter feel and distance control.

Akshay Bhatia’s Golf Ball

To round out his bag, Bhatia uses Callaway's Chrome Tour X golf balls. These are designed for players who prioritise features like distance, spin, control and feel. The ball construction also maximises distance from the driver and long irons.
