Brooks Koepka Yellow Gold Skydweller Black Dial To Lift PGA Championship Trophy Today

Pictured taking the U.S. Open trophy in a Platona earlier this year.
Looked like Tiger Woods wearing a DSSD again today? Old Pic.

I believe Koepka’s swing coach had the new Pepsi in an interview before Koepka teed off.

It looked like Adam Scott was rocking a two-tone CHNR in his interview

I was at the tournament this weekend and it seemed like everyone had a Rolex on. Sort of made them seem not as cool to see them on everyone’s wrist. I sort of understand Rolex restricting supply after being at the tournament.

Only got a quick glimpse but I think Justin Thomas is sporting a Sea Dweller 50th in this commercial.

Maybe not as affluent as tennis now days...

I play golf, and there are a bunch of bozos out there that hack around the golf course with zero respect for the course or the other players. The few tournaments I've been to (AT&T @ Pebble, Farmer's @ Torrey Pines, and the Barracuda here in Reno) get a good mix of people in the crowd that still respect the game, but it annoys the hell out of me when spectators scream "GET IN THE HOLE" when someone tees off on a par 5.

Tennis, I feel like, gets a reputation (whether earned or not) as a higher society sport.

We can probably all blame (or thank depending on your point of view) the Phoenix Open for golf tournaments becoming more of a party atmosphere and drunk fests these days. But I can tell you the 16th at Phoenix is on the top of my list for golf tournaments to attend.

You should go to polo, even the horses wear a Rolex.

Always on the lookout for what the golfers are wearing! I noticed all the above mentioned ones, Rolex and golf just go together!

Although I can't wear a watch when golfing... throws me off my already below average swing, ah!

I read the silly article in Hodinkee headed, “Brooks Koepka Wins PGA Championship Wearing A Rolex Sky-Dweller”. I don’t think he was wearing it when he won, but he was for the presentation. Apparently it wasn’t even set to the correct time! Poor old Brooks, everyone was interested in Tiger and a few Aussies in Adam Scott. I think Brooks could win 10 majors and nobody would be very excited!
