As far as the fairway goes, Sahith Theegala hasn’t had the easiest of seasons. Struggling with form, injuries, and mounting stress, he made little impact in the tournaments he played in 2025. Yet the 27-year-old still has plenty to smile about as the year draws to a close. The reason behind his joy is not his exploits on the golf course, but the beautiful moments in his life. Theegala has just made a major announcement, signaling the start of an exciting new chapter in his life.

The golfer and his partner, Julianna ‘Juju’ Chan, confirmed that the PGA Tour pro had just popped the question to her. In a post shared a few minutes ago, her caption read, “love of my life!!! 💍!!!,” as she shared pictures from the sight of their proposal and a few other moments following it. Theegala also posted the same pictures on his Instagram, sharing the news with his 200,000 followers.

The setting of the proposal was beautiful, as he got down on one knee at the top of a cliff beside the ocean in Kauai, Hawaii. They also got a few pictures taken on the beach, showing off the ring and celebrating the joyous moment together. The couple also included a video that showed Chan showing off the ring on the camera before making a fist for Theegala to pretend to bump it. Unsurprisingly, the beautiful moment has caught a lot of attention from the golf community.

Sahith Theegala’s life update draws in loads of love

Despite his lack of success, Sahith Theegala is a popular figure in the golf community. So when the news of his engagement came out, it didn’t come as a surprise that many influential individuals from the sport actually dropped in to congratulate him. Amanda Balionis said, “🥹🥹 congratulations!!,” Min Woo Lee wrote, “Congrats !,” and Kira Dixon added a bit of emotion to it by commenting, “Ahh congrats!!! 😍😍.”

Dixon helped Theegala spread the message about why he thought raising money for the LA wildfires was critical back in February 2025. Balionis was the one who interviewed all the players, including the 27-year-old, for the third season of Netflix Full Swing. Lee has acknowledged Theegala for his amazing skills to win his first PGA Tour title in 2023. Other than them, Akshay Bhatia also left a “🔥” in the comments. They share a great bond considering their Indian-American heritage and early rise in the PGA Tour.
