On the 30th of December Tiger Woods, one of the most winning golfers in history, and arguably the best ever, celebrated his 50th birthday. Other than a personal milestone and the chance to celebrate such an impactful athlete and its effect on golf, this birthday is also the occasion, for us watch enthusiasts, to look back at his enduring partnership with Rolex.
Over the past two decades, Woods, who has been a Rolex ambassador since 2011, has worn some of the most iconic models of the maison, reinforcing his status as a true Rolex golf ambassador.
Tiger Woods and Rolex: A Timeless Partnership
Since officially joining the Rolex ambassador family in 2011, Tiger has embodied the brand’s values of resilience and performance. His comeback stories, despite major health problems and personal setbacks, mirror the durability of Rolex timepieces. Among his favorites is the Rolex Deepsea James Cameron, a professional diver’s watch with a 44 mm Oystersteel case and D-blue dial. Woods has praised it as “reliable and sturdy,” making it a perfect match for his persona.
Iconic Rolex Watches Worn by Tiger Woods
Throughout his career, Tiger Woods has showcased several legendary models during trophy presentations and major tournaments:
- Rolex Day-Date 40 in Everose, featuring diamonds on the bezel, a statement of prestige.
- Rolex GMT-Master II Two-Tone (Ref. 116713LN), blending yellow gold and steel for a bold look.
- Rolex Deepsea James Cameron, famously worn during his 2019 Masters victory.
- Earlier, Woods sported the Rolex Datejust II with a blue sunburst dial and the Rolex Submariner Date.
These Tiger Woods Rolex watches have become part of his winning image, adding sophistication to his historic moments.
But what’s less known is that early during his career Tiger was a testimonial of Tudor, with his own incredible limited edition chronograph.
Rolex’s Influence in Golf
Rolex is not just a watch brand; it’s a cornerstone of professional golf. As the Official Timekeeper of the PGA Tour, Rolex sponsors prestigious events like The Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open, The Open, and the Rolex Series on the DP World Tour. Tournaments such as the BMW PGA Championship, Scottish Open, and the season-ending Dubai finale all bear the Rolex name.
Rolex Golf Ambassadors Beyond Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods is joined by an elite roster of Rolex golf ambassadors, including Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, Phil Mickelson, Viktor Hovland, and several LPGA stars like Lydia Ko and Brooke Henderson. Together, they represent Rolex’s commitment to excellence in golf.
As Tiger Woods enters his sixth decade, his connection with Rolex remains unshakable. These luxury watches are more than accessories, they symbolize precision, resilience, and timeless achievement. For fans searching for Tiger Woods Rolex models or exploring Rolex golf sponsorship, this partnership stands as one of the most iconic in sports history.
