Akshay Bhatia turned in one of the most memorable final rounds in Arnold Palmer Invitational history Sunday, erasing a five-shot deficit on the back nine to force a playoff with Daniel Berger — then winning it in sudden death on the 18th hole.

The 22-year-old American closed with a 69 at Bay Hill, eagling the par-5 16th to flip the momentum before Berger's three-putt from 106 feet handed Bhatia the title. He pocketed $4 million from the $20M purse, his third PGA Tour win — all three via playoff.

The story didn't end on the scoreboard. Bhatia dedicated the victory to his late niece Mia, who passed away in December at age six. When a rainbow appeared over the 18th green during the trophy ceremony, Bhatia looked up and said: "When I saw that rainbow, it reminded me of her. She was a fighter." Hard not to get a little misty at Bay Hill.

In the opposite-field event, Ricky Castillo earned his first career PGA Tour title at the Puerto Rico Open, shooting 17-under at Grand Reserve Golf Club to edge Chandler Blanchet by one stroke.

Over on LIV Golf, Jon Rahm looked every bit like a world No. 1 contender again at HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong, firing a dominant 23-under 257 at Hong Kong Golf Club to win by three over Thomas Detry. It was Rahm's first individual victory in 539 days, and it was a wire-to-wire statement — 4Aces GC also took the team title in Fanling.

On the LPGA, South Korea's Mi Hyang Lee ended an eight-year victory drought at the Blue Bay LPGA in Hainan Island, China. Lee entered Sunday with a three-shot lead, nearly gave it all back with a rough front nine, then almost holed out from 75 yards on the final hole, leaving her a kick-in birdie to win at 11-under, beating Weiwei Zhang by one. "I only started playing golf again on February 1," she said. "I cannot believe I'm winning this trophy."

And finally, not to be outdone, Zach Johnson made himself at home on the PGA Tour Champions in a hurry. Just 12 days after turning 50, Johnson won the James Hardie Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational in his Champions Tour debut — shooting 11-under at Broken Sound to win by four over Stewart Cink and George McNeill.

We’re excited to introduce something brand new — Sub 60 Golf Fantasy. It’s all the fun of fantasy golf with a Sub 60 twist. Best of all, it takes less than 60 seconds to set your lineup each week.

You won’t find a simpler or more intuitive fantasy golf platform out there. No complicated stats, confusing rules, or daily lineup checks.

We want our Sub 60 subscribers to be some of our first beta testers and help us shape the experience (and of course, have the chance to compete against one another).

We’ll be running the group for The Players Tournament this week so make sure to set your lineup before the first tee time on Thursday Morning.

We’d love your feedback as we continue to improve the game — and of course, bragging rights are always on the line.

Let’s see who in the Sub 60 Golf community can build the best lineup. 🏆🏌️‍♂️

Who said trees were 90% air?

That's the AI paradox hiding in your CX stack. Tickets close. Customers leave. And most teams don't see it coming because they're measuring the wrong things.

Efficiency metrics look great on paper. Handle time down. Containment rate up. But customer loyalty? That's a different story — and it's one your current dashboards probably aren't telling you.

Gladly's 2026 Customer Expectations Report surveyed thousands of real consumers to find out exactly where AI-powered service breaks trust, and what separates the platforms that drive retention from the ones that quietly erode it.

If you're architecting the CX stack, this is the data you need to build it right. Not just fast. Not just cheap. Built to last.
