2026 Fantasy Outlook
Rai not only picked up his first PGA Tour win during the 2024 season, but he ended that season in the top 30. That season was the end of a three-year run that saw improvement each season. His 2025 season saw some regression, but he closed it out with a win overseas at the Abu Dhabi Championship. It makes for a great set up in salary cap pools as Rai's number are well off of his 2024 numbers, but the level of play in total is similar, he just doesn't have to absorb the winnings from Abu Dhabi in his PGA total. Though his production on the PGA Tour fell off a little this past season, Rai seems like he's still ascending. That, combined with the discounted number from this past year make Rai a solid salary cap play for this season. Read Past Outlooks
Share of 19th at the Memorial
Rai posted a two-under cumulative score at the Memorial Tournament to finish tied with Justin Thomas and Keegan Bradley for 19th.
ANALYSIS
Rai's outing at Muirfield was his first appearance since his triumph at the PGA Championship three weeks ago. He put together a respectable performance at the Memorial, ending things with a two-under 70 in the final round while ranking third in driving accuracy, T6 in bogeys and in the top-21 in SG: Off-the-Tee, Approach and Around-the-Green. Rai is in the field for the RBC Canadian Open, where he finished T13-T3-T14 in his three outings from 2022 to 2024.

2022
Rai had a career year in 2024 going 21-for-25 with six top-10s and 13 top-25s. He also collected his first career PGA Tour victory at the Wyndham Championship. It was part of a red hot stretch that included four top-seven finishes in five starts. Rai ranked sixth last season in SG: Total led by his terrific iron play. The Englishman was seventh in SG: Approach and ninth in GIR percentage. He also led the PGA Tour in driving accuracy. Given his ball-striking numbers, if Rai is able to have a good week on the greens he is going to find himself in the mix. It's probably unlikely he reaches his earnings total from 2024, but Rai's floor remains pretty respectable.
