Mar 18, 2026, 11:55 AM ET

Akshay Bhatia has withdrawn from the upcoming Valspar Championship. No official reason has been given at this time. The rising star had been one of the hottest players on the PGA Tour, already making seven starts in 2026, highlighted by a recent win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and a T13 result at last week's PLAYERS Championship. His absence from the Valspar field is notable, especially for DFS players and golf bettors, as Bhatia was projected to be one of the top contenders at the Copperhead Course.--Joe Nicely - RotoBaller
