In keeping with its passion for excellence and its long-standing commitment to the world of golf, Rolex is proud to announce its partnership with famous American golfer, Tiger Woods who is among the most successful golfers of all time.
Tiger is arguably the greatest Golf player in history, having won 14 majors and 82 worldwide wins.

Also, Rolex said it was paying tribute "to the exceptional stature of Tiger Woods and the leading role he plays in forging sport's global appeal".
Woods turned professional in 1996, and by April 1997 he had already won his first major, the 1997 Masters in a record-breaking performance.

Through the 2000s, Woods was the dominant force in golf, spending 264 weeks from August 1999 to September 2004 and 281 weeks from June 2005 to October 2010 as world number one.
