2Rayhan Thomas, the 25-year-old Dubai-raised golfer and former Oklahoma State University standout, continued his promising start on the Korn Ferry Tour with a T-26 finish at the US$1 million Astara Golf Championship in Bogotá.

Thomas posted rounds of 66-64-72-71 to finish at 10-under 273, marking his fourth start on the Korn Ferry Tour since earning his playing rights through Qualifying School in December. With 12 guaranteed starts this season, Thomas secured his place on the circuit after finishing T-26 at 1-over 281 in the Final Stage of PGA Tour Qualifying School, presented by Korn Ferry, in Ponte Vedra, Florida.

Last month, Thomas recorded his best finish to date, a T-7 at the Bahamas Great Abaco Classic, further establishing himself as a rising contender.

His professional journey began in June 2023, when he made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on a sponsor invite at the Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Kansas Wichita Open, where he impressed with rounds of 72-64-67-73 to finish T-68 at 4-under 276. Later, he earned an invitation to the International Series Morocco, finishing T-8 to secure an exemption for International Series England, although he missed the cut. Undeterred, Thomas returned to India in August, where he made a bold statement by capturing his first professional title at the Coimbatore Open on the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI).

In November, Thomas took on the Final Stage of DP World Tour Qualifying, where he posted a 16-under total over six rounds, finishing 33rd—just two strokes shy of securing full playing rights on the 2025 DP World Tour. However, his strong performance ensured eligibility for the Challenge Tour, Europe’s second-tier professional circuit.

With a mix of steady performances and flashes of brilliance, Thomas is quickly making his mark across multiple tours, setting the stage for an exciting 2024 season.5-year-old
