Bhatia Wins the Red Cardigan - March 9th, 2026
On March 9th, 2026, we recap a weather-delayed marathon Sunday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational where Akshay Bhatia claimed the iconic red cardigan in a thrilling playoff victory over a resurgent Daniel Berger.
- Akshay Bhatia conquered a weather-delayed marathon Sunday to win the API at 15-under. His dramatic day featured a 10-second lip-hanging birdie, a 60-foot bomb on 11, and a 138-mph 6-iron to three feet for eagle on 16.
- "We created pieces that not only look great but perform when it matters most," Bhatia said regarding his new TravisMathew collection after sinking the playoff-winning birdie on the 18th.
- In a beautiful and emotional post-round moment, Bhatia dedicated this career-defining victory to his late niece.
- Daniel Berger completed a triumphant return from injury, overcoming a brutal fried-egg bunker lie on 13 to sink a clutch 13-foot par putt on 18, forcing the playoff. Meanwhile, Ludvig Aberg shot a final-round 67.
- Chris Gotterup rose to world No. 6 after a T20 finish, staying grounded by calling himself "just a normal dude who happens to be decent at golf."
- Jordan Spieth (T11) went viral for his third-round bushwhacking on the 12th hole, prompting fans to joke he's "Always on a side quest! Gonna have to start calling him Ulysses."
- The tournament's rich history took center stage, from the dedication of the Umbrella Boys to API COO Marci Doyle explaining the 2017 switch to the red alpaca sweater because "it personalizes the occasion much more."
- Tiger Woods reflected on Palmer's legacy, admitting, "I was never as good as he was with social interaction," and noting his favorite part of winning was "the fact I was able to shake Arnold Palmer's hand."
- Rickie Fowler honored Palmer by wearing a "KING" hat en route to a T8 finish—but still found time to prank his caddie, Ricky Romano, near a live alligator.
Cameron Young (T3) calls the API greens "sketchy" despite great ball striking • Ludvig Aberg (3rd) finds success after switching to a higher-lofted putter • Scottie Scheffler (T29) tests out a brand-new driver
