Sergio Garcia - Masters Champion

Do you a have a favoruite course in the world?

Yes, the Valderrama Royal Club in Andalusia (Sergio just won another European Tour title there in November) and my home course in Spain, Club de Campo del Mediterráneo in Castellon. I also like links courses such as Carnoustie and Muirfield.

Tell us about your relationship with Omega?

We have been together for about 15 to 16 years now. Pretty much I can say that we have been together for my whole career. It’s been a great relationship with so many things we have gone through together. We have shot some really fun and cool videos. It’s been great to grow next to Omega and to be able to relate to a company with such high quality. Everyone knows the brand worldwide and the quality of their watches. As a golfer who loves to express as much as possible on the golf course, it’s a dream come true to be an Omega Ambassador.

What is your favourite Omega model?

I like the “Dark Side of the Moon”. I also like the Seamaster I am wearing – Planet Ocean Deep Black. I got this one from a friend in Omega at the week of the Masters. It was a good way to start the week and brought me the luck to win the Masters!

I also remember the Michael Schumacher edition Speedmaster, which is also very cool.

Watchmaker and Golfer – any similarities?

Precision is very important for both of us. Fineness – you can see how beautiful the finishing a watch is. It’s the same thing in golf, fineness around the course and especially the green to save yourself from up and down. Or maybe you are in the trees, and you have to hit a spectacular shot. And I think hardworking is also another similarity. If you want to be a top global company against other competitors in the industry, you have to work hard. The same thing with golf – you need to put the hours to make yourself better.
