This afternoon, a new episode of the PGA Tour’s “The Life” series will focus on Akshay Bhatia, following him at home in Jupiter, Florida. “We’re excited to bring fans closer than ever to Akshay Bhatia at a pivotal moment in his career,” said Michael Riceman, the PGA tour’s senior vice president of content and production.
Also set to feature in the program is Bhatia’s wife Presleigh Schultz (now Presleigh Bhatia). “She has been through it all with me. She had no idea what golf was when I met her. Now she travels every week with me, and it is not easy because it is all about me 100% of the time,” Akshay said in 2023. “For her to support me every week and walk 72 holes, I couldn’t imagine my life without her and being on this journey without her. She has done a lot for me… She has seen me cry in the hotel room and seen me super happy. For her to see me here, she always keep telling me how good I am, even if I question myself sometimes.”
