Eight years ago, a painful rule mishap changed the course of his amateur dreams. And now Akshay Bhatia has returned to Pebble Beach Golf Links as a very different player. He is calmer, seasoned, and now in control of a PGA Tour Sunday. His rise over the past year has indeed been steady.

The 22-year-old is currently leading the leaderboard in the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. With a score of 19-under-par, he is holding a two-shot lead after a composed 68 in tricky coastal winds. Bhatia shot six birdies in his first seven holes. Even a late bogey and a missed birdie chance couldn’t shake his grip on the leaderboard. Notably, younger Bhatia was spotted struggling in such situations.

Now, as Jake Knapp, Colin Morikawa, and Sepp Straka continue to chase him, his form at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am has created quite a buzz. And this has left many curious about his current financial status.

Akshay Bhatia currently boasts a net worth that reportedly lies in the low-to-mid seven figures. As of 2026, Spotrac estimated his total earnings from the PGA Tour to be around $14 million.

In 2026 itself, his PGA Tour earnings stood at $879,360. Notably, he has earned a total cash prize of approximately $17 million playing for five consecutive seasons.

Bhatia turned pro in 2019. In the beginning of January 2022, he became a member of the Korn Ferry Tour. However he had to wait till 2023 to earn his first PGA Tour and first European Tour win at the Barracuda Championship.

In 2024, he earned $402,218 from his T14 finish at the US Open. Then, in 2025, Bhatia bagged $180,450 from The Open.
