Abramowitz hen a golfer plays No. 18 at Baltusrol Golf Club in Spring- field, N.J., they will often pause to reflect upon a special W plaque that pays tribute to Jack Nicklaus’ famous 1-iron 1 shot in the 1967 U.S. Open. In fact, for good luck, Phil Mickelson tapped the marker twice with his 3-wood as he played the 72nd hole of his thrilling victory in the 2005 PGA Championship. PARPAR 4 Meanwhile, Nicklaus’ 18 major championships serve as inspiration for the individual hole marker signs that line Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor, Mich., site of the 2014 Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid. A stroll through the course is literally a walk through golf history. In similar fashion, PGA Golf Club at PGA Village in Port St. Lucie, Fla., is taking a page out of PGA of America history as it pays homage to PGA Championship and Ryder Cup lore with special new plaques that are designed to develop a link between its golfers and The PGA’s storied past.

  • Rolex Celebrates Landmark Partnership As Official Timekeeper and Partner of the Pga Championship
    PRESS RELEASE ROLEX CELEBRATES LANDMARK PARTNERSHIP AS OFFICIAL TIMEKEEPER AND PARTNER OF THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP Geneva, Switzerland, Monday, 17 May 2021 – Rolex will be present as the Official Timekeeper and Partner when the 103rd PGA Championship, the second men’s Major of the season, is staged at the Ocean Course on Kiawah Island, South Carolina, from 20–23 May. Organized by the PGA of America and first held in 1916, the Championship is famed for having the strongest field in international golf. The names of the champions are inscribed on the Wanamaker Trophy, which has been awarded to the winner of the event since the inaugural edition. The Ocean Course, meanwhile, features stunning views of the Atlantic coastline, swirling winds and challenging natural features. It previously hosted the Championship in 2012 and was the scene of the dramatic finish to The Ryder Cup in 1991. It demands long drives off the tee, coupled with accurate iron play to approach the slick greens, an exacting test that is certain to produce exceptional golf. To be crowned champion here will require of players the highest levels of precision, consistency and resilience, qualities that resonate with Rolex’s own quest for perpetual excellence, in its watchmaking and all other endeavours. The Swiss watch manufacturer has been an indelible part of golf for more than 50 years. The partnership was established in 1967 following a pioneering agreement with Arnold Palmer, who was joined by his great friends and on-course rivals Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player – The Big Three – as the brand’s first Testimonees.
