Rayhan keeps an eye on PGA Tour Card with strong performance on Korn Ferry Tour
Dubai born Rayhan Thomas (India) continued his impressive form on the Korn Ferry Tour, securing a tied 26th finish at the Astara Golf Championship presented by Mastercard in Bogotá, Colombia.
With the top 20 players at the end of the 2025 season earning full PGA Tour cards for 2026, Thomas is steadily positioning himself for a potential breakthrough as he aims for one of those coveted spots.
He shot rounds of 66, 64, 72, and 71, posting a 72-hole total of 273 to finish 10 under par. The winner, Kyle Westmoreland (USA), ended on 18 under par.
Currently ranked 26th in the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour Rankings after four qualifying tournaments, Thomas, a Dubai Golden VISA Awardee, reflected on his performance after completing his final round:
'Overall, I was pleased with the week. I wish I could have finished better—considering I was only two shots back of the leader after 36 holes. Unfortunately, I had a poor weekend. But it was great to be in that position for the first time, and I'll learn from this experience to compete harder next time.
'There's a reshuffle after every four tournaments on the Korn Ferry season. The good news is that I've been told my full Korn Ferry season is locked up, but I'm waiting for confirmation.'
Looking ahead, Thomas said, 'Next up is two weeks in Stillwater, Oklahoma, before heading to my next Korn Ferry Tour event in Argentina at the end of February.'
At the end of the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour season, the top 20 players will earn full PGA Tour cards for 2026.
