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
Second in SG: Off-the-tee in Canada
June 3, 2024
Rai recorded an even-par 70 on Sunday at the RBC Canadian Open to finish in a share of 14th place.
ANALYSIS
Rai found himself in the top-10 heading into the final round following a five-under 65 on Saturday, but he got off to a slow start with three bogeys in the first seven holes on a day where scores were low. He was led by his ball striking, ranking second in SG: Off-the-tee, first in driving accuracy and tied for third in greens in regulation for the week. It's Rai's second top-15 result over his last four tournaments.

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.
