Rolex and Golf

For over 30 years, Rolex has been the proud partner and Official Timekeeper of The Open, where the world's greatest players compete for the sport’s oldest title.

This prestigious tournament is organized by The R&A, golf’s governing body responsible for monitoring the official Rules of Golf. The Rules, set out by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, have preserved the integrity of the sport for over 250 years. Both The R&A and The Rules have long-standing partnerships with Rolex.

Rolex also partners the USGA, which is responsible for organizing the renowned U.S. Open Championship. Together with The R&A, the USGA governs the game of golf worldwide, promoting and sustaining the game and acting as custodian of The Rules.

Also in the United States, Rolex proudly supports the Masters, one of golf’s emblematic events played every year at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. Like Rolex, the Masters is a classic known for its traditional values and the only invitational tournament among golf's majors.

Alongside the majors are the Rolex‑sponsored team competitions. The Ryder Cup pits the United States against Europe, while The Presidents Cup is played between the United States and a team comprised of the top-ranked players outside Europe. These high-profile events are unique since no prize money is awarded.
