17-Year-Old Golf PHENOM Akshay Bhatia Is The FUTURE Of The PGA Tour 

COMMENT with your favorite golfer!

Who’s here after watching him play at Pebble?

Had so much fun filming with you guys 🙌🏼

He's playing in the pga tourney this week! He is tied for 2nd after the first round with an 8 under. Rooting for him big time!!

College Offers: Here's a scholarship buddy. Akshay: I'm sorry, I can't hear you. I have my Airpods in.

You guys do realize that he doesn't even go to high school he deadass only plays golf year round

Who's here after his win in Texas?

Once this kid's weight hits triple figures he'll be unbeatable!!

This is great to see and such a fantastic attitude from both this young lad and also his coach. Refreshing. Good luck, I'm sure he will go a long way. #livelifeawesome

Whose here after his first tour win 💙💙

He makes a beautiful move on the ball. Totally fluent and his power will only increase with age. Awesome player.

You know that most of the people who know they want to play golf professionally go to college right? The ones who don't really miss out. The friendship, the competition, the travel, and college broadens you so you can enjoy all those things more.

Really like watching your swing bro, I’m a lefty too and it’s much easier to fix my swing by watching you versus a right handed swing. Keep killing it bro

Hopefully, this boy will be a big name in golf. He has been amazingly good at his age. See you on tours soon.

I love seeing kids understand the difference between cocky and confidence. Some really don’t understand that there’s a fine line. It’s something you can’t teach. Either you get it or you don’t. I wish this kid the best..

Cant wait to c u on tour. Life is good

6:42 ahahhahah he lipped it but they cut it so it looked in 😂😂

I would love to see this young man win the masters one day and just keep going!! Definitely has the right attitude and if you're reading this Akshay, have fun!!! Cuz you will be exceeding every goal by a long shot when your mind makes it fun.

And he shot 8-under at Pebble Beach today!

I am privileged to have met Akshay at Heritage Golf Club in Wake Forest, NC as a young tike who was just learning the game of golf and how to play it under the tutelage of his Dad. Over time, what an "exasperating" thrill it became to watch him as a youngster outdistance my seasoned drives by 50 or more yards! I was equally impressed, amazed and maybe a bit demoralized by the ease with which he threw darts at virtually every pin he approached. I could just tell -- from soon after I met him and watched him practice and play that Akshay had all the right stuff! I just knew he was destined for greatness in the game of golf -- but only if he wanted that, set that goal and worked tirelessly to achieve that destiny. Like no other "kid" I've ever known or seen -- in any sport actually -- Akshay put his all into perfecting both the physical and mental elements of the game. He never lost focus, he never questioned his potential and he never missed an opportunity to practice. He also has never looked back...only forward to the next task, the next objective and the next goal. Lest there be doubt, Akshay had more than a little help -- especially from two amazing, loving and supportive parents and an All Star golf phenom sister...all of whom challenged, encouraged and helped him each and every day to work harder than anyone believed possible -- to become as great a golfer as he could dream possible. I love it when dreams come true! Congratulations Akshay! Carpe diem! Keep claiming those trophies. And oh by the way, I'm still looking for that autographed picture -- you know, for the guy who taught you more than anyone else what not to do in playing the game of golf! All the best to you and yours...always! Rick

Buddy has balls to skip college… hopefully this is the right choice for this guy

Wow he's really amazing and he can always go to college if he chooses to there's no age limit. Congratulations on all your success!

I wish this kid the best, I hope he does it his way.

4:04 his AirPod fell out😂😂

The best golfer in the world with the best instructor in the world ... hard too beat !

i hope to see him on the top as #1. awesome how determined and dedicated he is.

Love it way to go bro your gonna have a great life hust stay grounded and keep doing what your doing

Crazy how I watched this guy 2 years ago and now he is on the tour

Congrats to this guy for making it on tour

Interested to see how his story develops. He's planning on skipping college, but there's still time to change his mind. I also think the video is a little short. Has AB ever had to struggle or face adversity in golf or life? I don't know his backstory, but it's going to be a rude awakening if he ever hits a slump. There's a lot to be learned from guys like Ty Tryon who burst onto the PGA Tour back in the day but had never really learned how to struggle. Seems like AB has a good support net though with GG and co. Wish the best to him on his journey.

Golf is harder than football or basketball. - 6ft, 98lbs string bean, 2019

128 lbs at 6ft I thought I was skinny but fair play hes a great player

This is very inspirational 🤘🔥😀

“I work out in the morning” does yoga 😂

And two years later he is smashing it on PGA legend

This guy is great. Keep training and play golf forever

Hope he makes it! Great player!!

*Akshay can spit some bars too, so talented see you out here soon.*

All the best to you my man 💪

you can win this week good luck!!

He’s in the top 500 on the ranking right now and he’s still young definitely lived up to his hype so far

128 lbs GG get that boy a cheeseburger ASAP! 🍔

As a fellow golf amateur I respect the goal to be the best in the world because I’m in that same boat. Never met this guy but you have one of the best coaches in the country on speed dial which definitely is a benefit. I personally don’t see a fire in this guy could be personality or something but good luck and hope we cross paths in the future your not getting the title of best in the world that easy 😉

I laughed out loud when he couldn’t find the words “jump shot” in his brain and said “uhhh..... a basket”

He has a great swing, his putting stroke looks spot on everything looks right at less than 130 lbs it is incredible he can generate 120 MPH club head speed. When he fills out that is going higher. He just needs to keep on doing what he is doing and keep the attitude he has now with golf his no 1 priority and good results are inevitable. It is easier said than done and many cast iron certainties don't make it. Pro golf is tough but he looks like he could be one of those players that breaks through quickly. He has a great shot at achieving his goals he is without question one to watch.

Good luck. I did see him take a 7 yesterday at Valspar though.

Make one about Nicolai and Rasmus Hoejgaard

Westlake driving range, represent!

Go for it. Can always go to college later if you need or want to

Who else is here after he shot 8 under at pebble

I love golf I love playing it

And now he’s doing good on the pga tournament 😂

Here after he is playing really good at pebble beach.

Best of Wishes to you, next version of Euro Golfing Machine, Victor Dubuisson! Go get 'em!

With my driver he’s truly amazing

If you want to take the island, burn the boat. Go for it! My brother was a top ranked junior and chose college over turning pro. Looking back now, I believe he should have turned pro at 18 and skipped college. It all worked out, he has been on the PGA tour for 5 years now. Hope to see you at a tour event, best of luck from Texas.

skipping college is maybe not the best decision for his progression and coaching, but who knows

Just takes a certain lifestyle to reach a skill level that high most kids his age will never be that good because they have to go to school but this dude plays golf all day everyday he’s living the dream

Chase your dreams Akshay!! Dont leave your passion/focus. Good luck to you and your parents!!. I am sure your parents are nervous every time you play :)

Look out Phil Here Comes Your competition

This dude really said football is just throwing a ball

Let me know if you need a caddie at the Canadian Open 💪👍

This aged pretty well

Now he’s 2nd at the Mexico Open!

Carl Villips will be right behind you...

Super impressive

Love how he said making a basket... like ya if we played a round he would embarrass me but if we laced it up I’m droppin homie wit a iverson cross so quick his golfing career would be done

" I want to be the Number one Amadur"

That's a nice looking swing

“My stats and stuff”

Look up ty tryon, he’s my favorite

Winged Foot baby!

Akshay you got this. Never stop working. Do it for the Desis.

He's coach is awesome. I know him

Wow, that’s a big decision. (To skip college.). Especially for one from an Indian heritage for whom education is so important. Not sure I understand this decision in light of the fact that Tiger, Jack, and Phil didn’t skip. But I wish Akshay all the success in the world and hope his team keeps encouraging him through the ups and downs of golf life. All the best, Akshay.

Nice

Massive differance between junior and amateur and amateur to pro.

Gankas is the best coach in the game

and hes the proper way a lefty!

Yea G!

2 wins on tour and many more to come!

He COULD get on the web.com tour by the end of 2019...Will it be tough?..yes..Are the odds against him?..sure. But it looks like he has the work ethic..so give him a chance, guys..

NO DAYS OFF!!! 👂🏽👂🏽👂🏽

Akshay is my hero

That’s shay shay he golfed at my golf course

No wonder he’s 120 lb. He didn’t lift up a single weight during his “workout”. Take a peak at the best golfers in the world..physically impressive. That being said smooth swing for a lefty; keep grinding.

Finally Whistle got one guy that’s actually good at their sport and isn’t just rich, he actually has skill

Do you think college might give you a different perspective or enhance you in some way that is unique?

Whose here after hearing about his playing @ the thing in Austin

who here after watching him win Valero Cup

How's colt knost doing these days?

4:15 weird way to clean your mirror but if it works it works

GG ROCKS!

Akshay what advice would you give to a golfer who is pretty much a beginner and is good from long range but poor around the green

People that watch this after he wins the Valero

All the great golfers never say to themselves “I’m quite unique etc...etc...” he will be another Ty Tryon.

the only thing that scares me is how many times he mentions "boring" lol

So far A Bhatia and K Villips are you tube self (or family made) sensations with many likes, while Morikawa, Wolffe and Hovlands are Pgatour self made sensation. Just wonder who are in the better positions looking forward...

A typical lefty. A great athlete.

LITT POST BRO!! HOPE THIS GUY MAKES A GOOD DECISION.
