The PGA Tour star, 28, said \u201cI do\u201d to content creator Julianna \u201cJuju\u201d Chan<\/a>, 29. The couple wed in a Hindu ceremony on Friday, Oct. 23, and in a Western ceremony the next day on Saturday, Oct. 24, at The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua<\/a>, a luxury resort nestled on the northwestern shore of Maui in Hawaii.<\/p>\n \u201cGetting married on Maui, my favorite island, is my absolute dream,\u201d the bride exclusively tells PEOPLE. \u201cIt is such a special place to both of us.\u201d<\/p>\n Sahith Theegala and Julianna Chan on Oct. 23, 2026Credit: CHRIS J. EVANS<\/p>\n Theegala and Chan, who celebrated four years together<\/a> in September, met as student athletes at Pepperdine University in California in 2015. At the time, Theegala was on the golf team while Chan was on the swim and dive team. The two had the same major, sport administration, and, therefore, the same classes, so they quickly connected.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were really close friends for about seven years before we started dating in 2022,\u201d Chan shares. \u201cWe got engaged in October 2025 on the island of Kauai. It was so special and he flew out our family to share that moment with us as well.\u201d<\/p>\n After getting engaged, Chan asked Theegala if there was any possibility they could marry in Hawaii. Without a second thought, he said yes.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have both spent a lot of time in Hawaii both together and growing up in California,\u201d Chan says. \u201cIt is our favorite place in the world and we are so excited to be able to bring all our favorite people to our favorite place for this special week!\u201d<\/p>\n Julianna Chan and Sahith Theegala on Oct. 24, 2026Credit: CHRIS J.

EVANS<\/p>\n Wedding reception tablescapesCredit: CHRIS J. EVANS<\/p>\n The Western wedding ceremony had a green and neutral color palette while the Hindu ceremony incorporated yellow and light pink hues.<\/p>\n The festivities began with a \u201cDumplings and Dosas\u201d welcome party that blended the bride and groom\u2019s cultures. Dumplings are traditional Chinese cuisine while dosas are a common South Indian dish.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was very important for us to touch on all aspects of who we are and our different cultures,\u201d Chan tells PEOPLE. \u201cWe have some nods to Sahith\u2019s Indian and Hindu heritage, my Chinese American heritage, and the local Hawaiian culture. We really envisioned having all these parts of who we are feeling like they blend together throughout the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n Theegala adds, \u201cMy Indian heritage and Hindu culture is really important to me and having the Hindu ceremony along with our Western ceremony feels like such a great blend of our two cultures that have shaped my life. It\u2019s really special to have our families come together in two separate settings and share the one thing that is most important to us, which is love for each other and them.\u201d<\/p>\n Julianna Chan and Sahith Theegala share a first look before their ceremony on Oct. 24, 2026Credit: CHRIS J. EVANS<\/p>\n Rain was forecast throughout the day on Oct. 24, and it \u201crained quite heavily\u201d as Theegala and Chan were finishing getting dressed, says Jennifer Pletcher, founder and creative director of Mauna Creative. She was greeted by \u201cdark skies and waterspouts surrounding the island\u201d when she arrived. But just as the couple departed for their first look, the skies began to clear, right when the forecast had called for the heaviest rainfall.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat followed was nothing short of extraordinary: a glorious ceremony, the air cooled by the passing rain, and the couple seemingly blessed by the Hawaiian skies at this historic and deeply meaningful location,\u201d Pletcher shares.<\/p>\n She continues, \u201cThe ceremony itself was equally special, led by a respected Maui elder whose presence brought such sincerity, cultural depth, and a wonderful sense of joy to the moment. It was a beautiful reminder that some of the most meaningful parts of a wedding day are the ones no amount of planning can create, only the ones you get to experience when everything comes together.\u201d<\/p>\n The intimate destination celebration featured live ukulele music and was attended by 115 guests, including professional golfer Akshay Bhatia with wife Presleigh Bhatia, Theegala\u2019s longtime caddie Carl Smith, and Full Swing producer Ella Briscoe. Rev.\u00a0Adam Gomes, who was born and raised on the island of Maui, officiated.<\/p>\n Julianna Chan and Sahith Theegala on Oct. 24, 2026Credit: CHRIS J.
