Aaron Rai and his wife, Gaurika Bishnoi share a unique dynamic that is in focus amid his PGA Championship win.
Golfer, Aaron Rai is currently leading the headlines as he won the 2026 PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club on May 17, 2026. With the victory, he made history as the first Englishman to hoist the Wanamaker Trophy since Jim Barnes won it in 1919. It broke a 10-year consecutive winning streak by American players at the PGA Championship. The 31-year-old's PGA title win brought his wife, Gaurika Bishnoi Rai, to the spotlight. A particular incident where she schools him during his match has been circulating online.
Aaron Rai's win at the 2026 PGA Championship, put his wife, Gaurika Bishnoi in the spotlight. Lately, a video of hers has been going viral online, showing her hitting a flawless golf shot closer to the pin than Aaron's. Fans thought she could school him on what a perfect shot looks like. It occurred during the 2025 Masters Par-3 Contest at Augusta National Golf Club. The internet was stunned by her incredible swing, as many don't know the secret behind it. Well, it's her lesser-known professional endeavour, which often gets overshadowed by her identity as 'Aaron Rai's wife.' Gaurika is an accomplished Indian professional golfer herself, and she is at par with her husband in terms of skills, if not better.
Aaron Rai playfully admitted that his golfer wife, Gaurika Bishnoi, regularly gets the better of him during their practice sessions. Following his historic PGA Championship victory at Aronimink Golf Club, he opened up about their relationship, sharing that she won most of the time they locked in practice together. He revealed that they occasionally hold chipping contests and wedge games on TrackMan, and he tries his best to keep up with his wife, who is amazing at what she does. Praising Gaurika, he stated:
"We practice quite a lot together. Honestly she beats me more times than I beat her. When we have putting contests, chipping contests, we do some wedge games on TrackMan. I do well to keep up with her. She really is that good."
Aaron credited his better half, Gaurika for playing a "huge role" in his life and career, just a few months before his recent PGA win. His comments came during his post-match interview following his third DP World Tour title win at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in November 2025. When asked about his wife's role in his success, he said it was hard to articulate in words. He was quoted by The Mirror as:
"It's hard for me to really sum up how much of an effect she's had on me as a person, and also that actually feeds into my golf. This year has been truly special with us getting married, caddying for her, being with her, getting married, practising and playing together. It's just a peaceful thing to be able to share different parts of our lives with one another and being with each other every step of the way. Yeah, very special."
Aaron and Gaurika reportedly met through their mutual ties to the professional golf world, specifically through the DLF Golf and Country Club in India. After dating for several years, they married on July 22, 2025, in a lavish ceremony at Hedsor House near London. She came under the spotlight when she served as Aaron's caddie in the 2025 Masters Par 3 Contest. He, in turn, served as her caddie during the Hero Women's Indian Open on the Ladies European Tour.
