Rolex and the Evian Championship
World of Rolex
Since 2000, Rolex has partnered with The Evian Championship, one of the five women’s Majors. The brand’s support for this prestigious event reflects its extensive commitment to golf and in particular, its pioneering role in the women’s game.
For almost 40 years it has been a partner of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA), serving as the Official Timekeeper at all the Majors. It also sponsors the top annual awards, including the Rolex Rookie of the Year, Rolex Player of the Year and the Rolex ANNIKA Major Award for the best-performed player in the Majors.
Lydia Ko
Lydia Ko occupies a special place in golf history. In 2015, the then 17-year-old Korean-born New Zealander became the youngest World No. 1 – in men’s and women’s golf. Following victory at The Evian Championship, she was crowned Rolex Player of the Year and claimed back-to-back Majors in winning the 2016 ANA Inspiration. Her achievements in the Majors earned her the prestigious Rolex ANNIKA Major Award for the 2016 season.

The Datejust 31
The Rolex Datejust is the first self-winding waterproof chronometer wristwatch to display the date in a window at 3 o’clock on the dial. The precision, performance and timeless aesthetics of the Datejust 31 recall the beautiful yet challenging Evian Resort Golf Club course where The Evian Championship is held.
