Dubai-born golfer Rayhan Thomas, 26, is set to return to the United States with renewed vigor as he prepares for Stage Two of the Korn Ferry Tour Qualifying School. After a brief hiatus in Dubai following an Asian Tour event in the Philippines, Thomas is focused on reclaiming his spot on golf’s developmental circuit. His recent performance at Stage One of Q-School, where he tied for fourth with a 15-under-par total of 269, has bolstered his confidence for the upcoming challenges. Stage Two will take place from December 2–5 at The Landings Golf & Athletic Club in Savannah, Georgia, a familiar venue for Thomas. Success here could propel him to the Final Qualifying stage, where the top five players earn PGA Tour cards, and the next 40 secure Korn Ferry Tour membership for 2026. Thomas, who finished 88th on the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour points table, narrowly missed retaining his card but remains determined. He plans to balance his schedule with the Asian Tour Final Qualifying School and potential DP World Tour events in Dubai. Reflecting on his journey, Thomas emphasized the importance of small margins and a positive mindset, inspired by his friend Zach Bauchou’s recent PGA Tour success. With a confirmed caddie for next year, Thomas is ready to focus on his game and let the results follow.
