Aaron Rai and his wife, Gaurika Bishnoi Rai, share more than a marriage. They also share a deep connection to golf.
The couple first met at the 2018 Hero Indian Open and later married in July 2025. Gaurika, like Aaron, is a professional golfer, making their relationship one built around both love and the sport they know best.
Aaron won the 2026 PGA Championship, earning a multi-million dollar purse and one of the biggest victories of his career. After the win, he credited Gaurika as a major part of his success.
“I’m not exaggerating when I say that I wouldn’t be here without her,” Aaron said during a press conference. “Both as a companion, as a friend, as someone I’m sharing my life with, but also as a real support system for my game.”
Gaurika has built an impressive golf career of her own. According to GOLF Magazine, she plays on the Ladies European Tour and has won eight times in India.
Aaron also revealed that the couple often practices together, and he admitted that Gaurika regularly gets the better of him.
“Honestly, she beats me more times than I beat her,” he said. “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.”
Their partnership extends beyond practice sessions. Gaurika caddied for Aaron at the Masters Tournament in both 2025 and 2026. Aaron returned the favor in October 2025, carrying her bag during the Ladies European Tour.
Their love story began in an unexpected way at the 2018 Hero Indian Open. According to Golfweek, Gaurika was following Aaron’s group because her brother was volunteering with them. During the event, she struck up a conversation with Aaron’s mother, Dalvir Shukla, who told her, “I want you to meet my son.”
Years later, Aaron and Gaurika married on July 22, 2025, at Hedsor House in Buckinghamshire, England. Gaurika shared photos from the celebration on Instagram, writing, “Grateful beyond words for the love that surrounds us. The day was everything Aaron and I could’ve dreamed of.”
Following his PGA Championship victory, Aaron praised Gaurika again, calling her an “incredible” support system. He said her experience as a professional golfer gives her insight that has helped him both technically and mentally.
Her advice, he explained, has shaped everything from his technique to the way he carries himself on the course.
“I really wouldn’t be here without her,” Aaron said.
