2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rai is coming off a respectable second season on Tour in which he once again qualified for the playoffs. He primarily turned his attention to the DP World Tour this past fall, posting three top-10s across five events, most notably at T-2 result at the marquee BMW PGA Championship. The 28-year-old is an accurate driver and solid iron player (35th in strokes-gained approach) that is capable of having an even better third season if he can improve his putting. Rai's other downside is that he's not very long (151st in driving distance), but it wouldn't be a surprise to see him in contention often on shorter setups. Read Past Outlooks

Ties for seventh at Houston Open
April 1, 2024
Rai shot a final-round 67 to finish in a tie for seventh place at the Houston Open.
ANALYSIS
Rai made a nice charge down the stretch Sunday, carding three birdies on the back nine to finish 10-under in the clubhouse. The result is his best finish since last years BMW PGA Championship on the DP World Tour, where he finished in second place. Rai played well in the latter stages of 2023, but barring a win at the Valero Texas Open, he's unlikely to make it to Augusta this year.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Rai captured his PGA Tour card through the Korn Ferry Tour finals in 2021 after playing overseas to start his career, and he responded with a solid rookie campaign in which he ranked 46th in strokes-gained tee-to-green. While he was overshadowed by a stellar rookie class, Rai is capable of having an improved sophomore season if he can improve his putting.
Although he'll be considered a rookie on the PGA Tour, Rai already owns two career wins on the European Tour since 2018. The 26-year-old Englishman also posted a top-20 result at the 2021 Open Championship in addition to respectable performances at the WGC-Workday Championship and the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational. He earned his PGA Tour card via the Korn Ferry Tour Finals, highlighted by a T2 at the Albertsons Boise Open. On the Euro Tour in 2021, Rai ranks 26th or better in GIR percentage and driving accuracy.
