Aaron Rai landed his first win of 2025 when securing the title at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in November. A look at Aaron Rai: What’s In The Bag.
Rai came out on the top in a playoff to defeat fellow Englishman Tommy Fleetwood to the title in the 2025 Abu Dhabi Championship.
The pair had finished on 25-under par at Yas Links, one clear of Nicolai Hojgaard and Rory McIlroy, before Rai’s birdie on the first extra hole was enough for victory.
It was Rai’s first win since successful in the 2025 Wyndham Championship for what was his maiden PGA Tour victory.
Rai, who is noted for wearing two gloves while playing as well as having iron head covers, won twice on the DP World Tour before heading to the PGA Tour.
He won the Honma Hong Kong Open in 2018 and the Scottish Open in 2020, the latter a Rolex Series event and one of two on his CV along with the 2025 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.
Prior to that Rai made his way through the ranks, winning the 2015 Glenfarclas Open on the PGA EuroPro Tour and the 2017 Kenya Open, Andalucía Costa del Sol Match Play and Le Vaudreuil Golf Challenge on the Challenge Tour.
