Golfers Akshay Bhatia and Sahith Theegala, both of Indian descent, are poised to challenge the competition at the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club. Bhatia has one victory to his name this year, while Theegala is still seeking his second career win since 2023.

Despite Bhatia's past struggles at this event, his recent success in a key tournament suggests he could contend. Meanwhile, Theegala and fellow competitor Sudarshan Yellamaraju, who showed promise with a Top-10 finish at the PLAYERS, are also in the spotlight. The tournament is expected to be fiercely contested, drawing several top-ranked players and last year's winner, Ben Griffin, as well.

As the event unfolds, many will also watch Ludvig Aberg, who returns after a strong PGA Championship performance. Golf fans are anticipating exciting competition among seasoned professionals and emerging talents alike as they vie for a place at the Memorial Tournament next month.
