Congratulations to Tiger Woods who was just inducted into the World Golf of Fame which is a tribute to his amazing career in which he won 15 Majors and 82 PGA Tour titles.
Tiger Woods heartfelt acceptance speech can be seen below.
Tiger Woods daughter gave an amazing speech in recognition of his amazing lifetime achievement which made him cry.
Today, U.S. President Donald Trump awarded Tiger Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom in the White House Rose Garden, and Tiger was sporting his D-Blue Rolex SEA-DWELLER as seen in the photo below.
Tiger is wearing his Rolex DEEPSEA D-Blue model seen below. This is the same watch Tiger was rocking when he won The 2019 Masters Tournament last month.
President Trump is no stranger to Rolex and in the photo below we see him sporting his Rolex 'President' Day-Date out on the golf course.
Tiger Woods roared back when he won the 2019 Masters Golf Tournament today in Augusta, Georgia and won the famous green coat!! This was Tiger Woods 81st Career PGA Tour Win (2nd Most of All-time) makes Tiger Woods a 5-Time-Masters Champion, which puts him in 2nd place for most career wins. Most profoundly, this means Tiger Woods broke the record for most year between Masters wins at 14 years in-between!!!
Tiger wore his Rolex DEEPSEA SEA-DWELLER D-Blue after he won the Masters Tournament, as we see on his wrist in the videos above.
The D-Blue SEA-DWELLER features an unusual horizontal gradient to faces from blue above to black below, and it also has the DEEPSEA dial designation in a large green font. It is kind of profound if you think about it that the only two brands that didn't abandon Tiger after the challenges he went through years ago were Rolex and Nike.
Penso che un sogno cosi non ritorni mai piu
Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu
Poi d'improvviso venivo dal vento rapito
E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito
Volare, oh oh
E contare, oh oh oh oh
Nel blu, dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu
E volavo, volavo felice piu in alto del sole ed ancora piu su
Ali v. Frazier; Tyson v. Holyfield; Palmer v. Nicklaus; Evert v. Navratilova, Borg v. McEnroe—all great rivalries that have been going on since the beginning of televised sports: Fellow Rolex ambassadors, or should I say Rolex "Testimonees" Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are in the process of making golf history as they are going head-to-head in the first pay-per-view Golf event which features a $9 Million purse for the winner, and the loser gets nothing. BTW, What is a 'Testimonee'!?!! I think it might be a word Rolex created, like 'Cerachrom'.
Tiger Woods is famous for wearing his Rolex DEEP-SEA as seen below.
Tiger Woods is back as he just won his first PGA title in 5 years! This is his 80th championship win, which put him just 2 wins behind golf champion San Snead.
The Open Championship is often referred to as "The Open", or "The British Open". It remains golfs oldest of the four major world championships, thus preceding the Masters, the U.S. Open and the PGA Championship. This year's Open will be played from July 14 through July 17th at the Royal Troon Golf Club, on the Old Course, which is located in Troon, Scotland, in South Ayrshire.
Rolex Open Golf Legends
Many of the top golfers in history wear Rolex watches, so I thought I would share some photos below of golfers that have won The Open. Let's begin with "The Big Three of Golf", which includes Gary Player, Arnold Palmer, and Jack Nicklaus, who are pictured together below in 2007, all sporting their Rolex watches.
Notice Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus are wearing yellow gold Rolex Day-Date models and Arnold Palmer is wearing one of my favorite Rolex models, which is an original LV Submariner, which has a green bezel with a black dial.
In the photo below taken in the late 1960s we see the Golfs Big Three in the same order as the photo above.
"Rolex has shared every second of my time for the last 55 years." –Arnold Palmer
Arnold Palmer is pictured below in the Oval Office with President Nixon on February 13, 1969, along with fellow athletes, Bart Starr (football player) on far left, and Al Kaline of the Detroit Tigers. Notice, that Arnold Palmer is wearing his yellow gold Rolex Day-Date in the photos below. Ironically, you see the top golfer in the world wearing a Rolex "President" in the Oval Office.

Tiger Woods is pictured below as he gets a hug on the 18th green of the Presidents Cup from his mother Kultida Woods.
This next photo of Tiger Woods, taken during the 2013 President's cup is funny as we see that a squirel seems to have adopted Tiger Woods.
Rolex was an official sponsor at this years Presidents Cup Golf Tournament, and on the Rolex.com website there is a brief description that beautifully sums up the Presidents Cup. It says: "It is a rare motto in golf: play for the good of the team. Yet every two years, sportsmanship unites 24 players as the U.S. battles an international team. They compete with a national pride, but play for the good of the game. With camaraderie as the greatest reward of all."
Historically Rolex has always been extremely secretive and discreet, and no journalists in the past have ever been invited "INSIDE ROLEX" to explore and report on all four Rolex Manufacturing faclities in Switzerland.
In November 2013, this changed when Rolex invited Jake to take an unprecdented journey into the heart of Rolex to learn and report on everything he witnessed and learned.
This Super-Detailed 3 Part Story is a "MUST READ" story for anybody who wants to understand what really makes Rolex tick.
