Aaron Rai revealed the emotional reason behind covering up his golf clubs. Rai plays on the PGA Tour, and he's a renowned name in the golf world. His status comes with the leverage of being able to afford or get the best golf equipment.However, the golfer shared that since he belonged to the working class, it's in his nature to take care of his golf clubs and keep them covered. The NUCLR Golf’s X page quoted Aaron Rai in a post, which said:“ I grew up in very much a working-class family, and golf has always been a very expensive game. I started from the age of 4 years old, and my dad used to pay for the equipment, pay for my memberships, my entry fees. And it wasn't money that we really had, to be honest, but he'd always buy me the best clubs. When I was about seven to eight years, [my dad] bought me a set of Titleist 690 MBs, and they were like 800-1000 pounds back then, just for a set of clubs for a kid. I cherished them.”“When we used to go out and practice, he used to clean every single groove afterward with a pin and with baby oil. Although on the PGA Tour, we get given equipment, and we get everything that we need, it's more out of principle. The value of not losing perspective of what I have and where I am. The covers are going to stay, I’m sorry,” the post added.Rai won only one DP World Tour event in the 2025 season and failed to claim victory in any of the PGA Tour tournaments.How did Aaron Rai perform in his last three tournaments?
