Rolex and
the Open
World of Rolex
The Open, the oldest championship among the four Majors, is staged on a rotation of always demanding links courses in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Winning the iconic Claret Jug has become the crowning achievement for some of the greatest players to have played the game, including Rolex Testimonees Tom Watson, Gary Player and Tiger Woods.

Francesco Molinari
Rolex Testimonee Francesco Molinari is the only Italian to win a Major. His triumph at The Open at Carnoustie capped a stellar 2018 when he also won the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, England, had his first PGA TOUR® success and became the first European to win all five games as he helped his team defeat the United States at The Ryder Cup. -

Brooks Koepka
Brooks Koepka has emerged as one of the most potent forces in world golf, claiming the World No. 1 ranking and winning four Majors since 2017. In winning the 2019 PGA Championship, the powerful American became the first golfer to successfully defend two Major titles, having also won back-to-back U.S. Opens in 2017 and 2018.

Phil Mickelson
Phil Mickelson’s Open victory at Muirfield in 2013 marked the pinnacle of an already brilliant golfing career. “It’s a special moment to be part of the great history of this Championship, and a tremendous accomplishment for me and my career to win the event that has been my biggest challenge,” the American said after his triumph.

Tom Watson
In the history of The Open, few golfers have garnered the same success as American Tom Watson, who held aloft the Claret Jug five times between 1975 and 1983. With eight Majors and 39 victories on the PGA TOUR®, the six-time PGA TOUR® Player of the Year and World No. 1 from 1978 to 1982 has earned his place in golf legend.
Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods has been the pre-eminent golfer of his generation, transforming the game and inspiring millions of golfers worldwide. His 15 Majors, second only to Jack Nicklaus (18), include three Open titles, the first of which he won at St Andrews in 2000, finishing on a record 19 under par. Five years later, Woods again lifted the Claret Jug at St Andrews, and in 2006 at Royal Liverpool Golf Club. In 2019 he completed one of the most remarkable comebacks in sporting history when, aged 43, he won his fifth Masters title and first Major in 11 years.
The Day-Date 40
Available only in 18 ct gold or platinum, it was the first wristwatch to display the date and day of the week spelt out in full in a window on the dial. Exceptional precision, reliability, legibility and presence have made it the ultimate status watch, the embodiment of prestige. With the President bracelet, originally created especially for it, the Day-Date continues to be the watch par excellence of influential people. Like the elite golfers competing at The Open, they are the leaders in their field.
