Aaron Rai had 'amazing' 2025

Aaron Rai had 'amazing' 2025

Aaron Rai has had an “amazing” year.

The 30-year-old golfer won the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship earlier this month and he admitted it was a “really special” feeling to claim victory following a “beautiful” period both personally and professionally.

He told Golf Monthly magazine: “It’s very special. Any time you win on the DP World Tour, it’s a real accomplishment. The fields are strong.

“There’s so much work that goes into a tournament and so much work that goes into weeks away from the tournament.

“To win a Rolex Series Event with this strong of a field is really special.

“It’s been an amazing year off the course too, with getting married – it’s been a beautiful year with a lot of beautiful celebrations.”

Aaron tries not to set long-term goals but instead focuses on things as they happen.

He explained: “I try not to really set too many external goals.

“There are so many variables in one round of golf, let alone a tournament with four rounds or the whole season.

“Not to mention the amount of players who can do amazing things.

“I try to put my focus on the small day-to-day things that I can do and see where those put me.

“It might take me a long way or it might not, but we’ll just see how that falls in the years to come.”
