Aaron Rai's wife dazzles at 2025 Masters with impressive swing

It isn’t just the professionals shining at the Masters this year.

The crowd at Augusta National was amazed on Wednesday when the shot of English golfer Aaron Rai’s wife flew across the water and landed close to the pin during the Par 3 contest.

The wife, a brunette beauty whose identity remains unknown, couldn’t help but smile and raise her hands in the air as the spectators cheered. She then celebrated with Rai, who at the age of 30 was making his debut at the Masters tournament.

In footage of the sweet scene, the couple playfully hip bumped one another and embraced.

Currently ranked 28th in the world, Rai joined the PGA Tour in 2022 and won the Wyndham Championship last August.

Rai competed in the other three majors last year – the PGA Championship, the U.S. Open, and the British Open – and in each finished respectively in ties for 39th, 19th, and 75th place.

Rai got off to a solid start Thursday in the opening round, shooting a 3-under through seven holes.

Ahead of this year’s tournament, Rai said the opportunity to compete at the Masters is a “dream come true.”

“I watched videos of Tiger winning for the first time in 1997 but I didn’t have any memories of that live. I think my first memory watching him live was in the 2001 Masters and obviously the iconic chip-in during the 2005 Masters on No. 16 was something I will always cherish,” he said.

Woods, a five-time Masters champion, is currently recovering from an Achilles injury he sustained earlier this year.

He missed Tuesday’s annual Champions Dinner that honored last year’s victor, Scottie Scheffler.

The two-time major winner had a day to remember Wednesday at the Par 3, where family members and friends serve as caddies for the pros, as his infant son Bennett got to participate for the first time.

Elsewhere, Rory McIlroy — hoping to complete golf’s grand slam with a win this weekend — watched 4-year-old daughter Poppy make an epic putt on the green.

The Masters runs through Sunday.
