Gaganjeet Bhullar’s 2025 campaign saw him cut down significantly on his playing schedule but his strong driving gave him enough to retain his top 60 ranking.
In 2024, Bhullar enjoyed an extended season, playing 16 events and finishing 45th on the Asian Tour’s Order of Merit. The previous year, he had an even stronger run, competing in 19 events and securing third place in the rankings, highlighted by his victory at the BNI Indonesian Masters in November 2023 — his most recent win on the Tour to date.
Key Performance Indicators
- Driving Accuracy: A+ Bhullar led the Tour with a driving accuracy of 80.13%, which is a huge advantage in hitting greens.
- Scoring Average: B Maintaining a steady average of 70.72 across his 9 starts, Gaganjeet showed he can still keep pace with the younger “birdie machines” on tour, particularly in high-pressure International Series events.
- Clutch Performance: B+ His ability to elevate his game for the bigger purses was evident finishing 41st in the International Series Rankings with very few starts.
Season Highlights
- Manila Masterclass: His T-7th finish at the International Series Philippines was his finest performance of the year. Carding four sub-70 rounds (67-69-67-69), he finished at 16-under par, proving he can still contend with a field that included several LIV Golf stars.
- Moroccan Consistency: Secured a solid T-14th at the International Series Morocco.
- Jakarta Rhythm: A blistering opening two rounds of 65-65 at the Jakarta International Championship showed flashes of the form that has seen him win five times on Indonesian soil.
Final Grade: B
While 2025 lacked the silverware of previous years, it was a year of “quality over quantity.” By securing a Top-50 spot in the International Series rankings with only 9 starts, Bhullar maintained his status as India’s most dependable veteran on the Asian circuit. To move to an ‘A’ grade in 2026, he will look to convert these Top-20 finishes into podium spots.
