1. Jon Rahm

Jon Rahm is one of the most violent players in the golf world.

His emotions often show in his attitude, and when he gets irritated, he kicks or throws his clubs. Hideki Matsuyama is said to be such a "wild boy" that he is "scary" (laughs). However, he is a talented player ranked 2nd in the world (as of June 2022) and is the first Spanish player to win the US Open. He is 188cm tall and blessed with a great physique, and his average driving distance is over 300 yards.

The watch that Jon Rahm wears is:

[Rolex][Rolex]
Yacht-Master 40
"Ref.116622"

Inspired by Rolex's rich heritage in the world of sailing, the Yacht-Master was created with the concept of a " luxury watch for celebrities ." The dark rhodium, a material exclusive to Rolex, gives the watch an elegant dark grey colour, making it a sports model with a luxurious feel, and is loved by many celebrities.

The light blue second hand and the "YACHT-MASTER" lettering on the dial are accents, creating a sense of luxury with a soft feel. The bracelet is fitted with the Easy Link System, which allows you to easily extend it by about 5mm, so you can adjust the length yourself.

4. Viktor Hovland

Viktor Hovland was a star golfer at the prestigious University of Oklahoma.

In 2018, he became the first Norwegian to win the U.S. Amateur. At the U.S. Open, he set a new record for the youngest amateur score ever, was the low amateur in two consecutive major tournaments, and in 2020, he won his first US tour title at the Puerto Rico Open. Along with Collin Morikawa and others, he is one of the young star candidates.

The watch that Viktor Hovland wears is:

[Audemars Piguet]
"Royal Oak Chronograph"
"Ref.26331ST.OO.1220ST.03"

The Royal Oak Chronograph from Audemars Piguet's sports collection was designed by the genius designer Gerald Genta, who also worked on Patek Philippe's Nautilus, and is a popular model that is difficult to obtain at authorized stores.

The silver dial with a tapestry pattern and the black sub-dials look like a panda's face, so it is also known as the "panda dial." The elegant and calm design makes it suitable for a variety of situations.

summary
