The Korn Ferry Tour is the developmental circuit for the professional golfers, a stepping stone towards success on the PGA tour. Many legends were born here, while for many, the Korn Ferry Tour was a short stage in their career, quickly ascending up the ladder.

Nevertheless, in a shocking statistic, only three teenagers have ever won a title on the tour. Teenage sensation Akshay Bhatia joined Jason Day, winner of the Legend Financial Group Classic in 2007 and Sungjae Im, who had won the Bahamas Great Exuma Classic in 2018. However, both were a couple of months younger than the Indian-origin man, who became the first American teenager to accomplish this feat!

Moreover, looking at the success garnered by the two, it looks like Akshay might have a bright future ahead! Day, currently 34 and an active golfer on the PGA tour, boasts of 12 wins on the tour. Im, on the other hand, only 23, already has two wins to his name, including the Shriner’s Children’s Open in 2021.
