As far as I understand this, sudo still uses your (the regular user's) $PATH. Try setting $PATH in .bash_profile, logout and login again. The logout and login is important. Technically you can just source your .bash_profile and start working, but if you logout and login then you know for sure whether this works for your subsequent sessions. Hopefully this was helpful.
