    TM THE TECHNOLOGY LEADER IN GOLF SIMULATION Pebble Beach® Pebble Beach is probably the greatest meeting of land and sea in Ameri- can Golf and likely the most extensive. Pebble Beach Golf Links® was the first public course to be selected as the No.1 golf course in America by Golf Digest in 2001. It has been the site of golf’s most prestigious tourna- ments, including the annual AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, and five U.S. Open Championships. Pebble Beach will host another U.S. Amateur in 2018 and its sixth U.S. Open in 2019. Truly the most coveted course in the world to play! Spyglass Hill® Spyglass Hill is without question one of the top public golf courses in the U.S. Ranked #48 in the U.S, it is located on the Pebble Beach peninsula. The PGA TOUR®, consistently lists Spyglass Hill’s holes 6, 8 and 16 among the toughest on the TOUR, and during the 1999 US Amateur, the stroke average of the field during medal play was in excess of 79. Spanish Bay® The Links at Spanish Bay was built on vast sandy wasteland ideally suited for creating a true coastal Scottish links-style course. Development began in 1985, and was planned to protect the native dunes habitat. Prior cham- pionship tournaments included the 1993 Shivas Irons Games of the Links and NorCal Toyota Challenge.

  • US Open Pre-Event Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE ROLEX CELEBRATES 40TH EDITION AS OFFICIAL TIMEKEEPER OF THE U.S. OPEN Geneva, Switzerland, Wednesday, 05 June 2019 – One of the greatest golfing venues in the world, Pebble Beach Golf Links will welcome 156 of the world’s best professional and amateur golfers for the 119th edition of the U.S. Open from 13–16 June. This will be the sixth time that Pebble Beach has hosted the event, one of the four annual golf Majors, highlighting the championship pedigree of this revered course which celebrates its centenary year in 2019. This year also marks the 40th edition of the tournament that Rolex will preside over as Official Timekeeper, a position it has held since 1980. For more than 50 years, the Swiss watch manufacturer has nurtured one of the most enduring relationships between a brand and sport. In 1967, Rolex partnered with Arnold Palmer, joined by friends and rivals Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, affectionately known as The Big Three, who played a key role in modernizing this ancient sport. Since then, Rolex has become intimately linked with golf, extending its support to every level of the game, from its elite players, to men and women’s Major championships and the foremost professional tours around the globe. It is a partnership steeped in quality, reliability and a pioneering spirit, attributes that permeate everything Rolex does. KOEPKA AIMING FOR HISTORIC THIRD CONSECUTIVE WIN Not only is it an important year for the Swiss watch manufacturer and Pebble Beach, Rolex Testimonee Brooks Koepka will arrive at this dramatic stretch of California coastline with the opportunity to continue his sequence of historic victories.
