AARON RAI’S
JOURNEY TO
PROFESSIONAL GOLF
Aaron Rai’s journey to the PGA Tour is a testament to his dedication and hard work. He turned professional in 2012, embarking on a path that would see him rise through the ranks of international golf. Rai’s breakthrough came in 2018 when he won his first European Tour event at the Honma Hong Kong Open. Known for his meticulous preparation and disciplined approach, Aaron has consistently demonstrated his ability to compete at the highest level.
His victory at the 2020 Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open was a significant milestone in his career. Aaron’s win was particularly notable for his duel with fellow Englishman, Tommy Fleetwood, for the top spot. After a tense round of back and forth, Fleetwod’s missed putt by a mere few feet handed Aaron his first Scottish Open trophy.
This win secured his status as a formidable competitor on the European Tour and opened the door to further opportunities on the PGA Tour.
