Style Edit: Rolex continues decades-long support of The Open, golf’s oldest major
STORYSCMP Style Reporter
The watchmaker also partners with the tournament’s organising body, The R&A, as well as Rolex Testimonees like Tiger Woods, Bryson DeChambeau and Scottie Scheffler
Few sports boast such a long and august history as the noble pastime of golf. And among the sport’s many historic competitions, one stands out as the oldest and most storied of all: The Open Championship, contested each year at one of a rotating cast of links courses around the UK, and dating all the way back to 1860.
Since 1981, the tournament has been in partnership with its horological counterpart, a brand with an equally illustrious history and stellar reputation: Rolex. Its role as the Official Timekeeper of The Open and of its organiser The Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews (often shortened to The R&A), is part of the Swiss luxury watchmaker’s commitment to the sport stretching back nearly six decades. It also extends to the other tournaments that constitute the pinnacle of the game too: the other men’s and women’s majors, as well as its leading tours and team events.
