We’re going to tell you everything you need to know about the fantastic PGA Tour golfer, Aaron Rai. His journey from a youth player, to his partnership with Me and My Golf, and finally his acceptance onto the PGA Tour.
Aaron Rai is a top 50 professional golfer on the PGA Tour, known for being one of the most accurate drivers off the tee, with a calm demeanor and his signature dual glove grip.
Born on March 3, 1995, in Wolverhampton, England, Aaron has always been passionate about golf, a sport he was introduced to by his parents.
His mother, Dalvir, who caddied for him during his early years, played a crucial role in shaping his career, and his father, Amrik, who introduced him to the game, nurtured his early talent.
Aaron’s dedication and perseverance have made him one of the most respected players in the game today.
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.
Aaron Rai’s partnership with Me and My Golf has been a pivotal aspect of his professional journey. Aaron has benefitted from the expertise of PGA Tour coaches Piers Ward and Andy Proudman, the masterminds behind the renowned online golf coaching platform.
Piers and Andy have been instrumental in fine-tuning Aaron’s game, providing insights and strategies that have helped him elevate his performance. Their coaching philosophy emphasises the importance of a strong mental game, precise technical skills, and a well-rounded approach to physical fitness. Under their guidance, Aaron has made significant strides in his game, particularly in his accuracy off the tee and course management.
