Miami, Sahith Theegala and Akshay Bhatia, two Indian Americans, could surprise at the PGA TOUR's Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral Golf Club.

Theegala and Bhatia are joined by fellow Indian origin player Sudarshan Yellamaraju in the field, which features a stacked lineup and compelling early-round pairings.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is a strong favourite, but Rory McIlroy's absence gives Theegala and Bhatia an opportunity to shine.

Theegala has impressed with his consistency, recording four top-10 finishes in 11 starts, while Bhatia has notched a victory this season and demonstrated remarkable composure in high-pressure situations.

Other notable pairings include Viktor Hovland and Tommy Fleetwood, Chris Gotterup and Hideki Matsuyama, and fan favourites Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas.
