Rolex becomes official partner of LIV Golf

The partnership will focus on delivering an exclusive and elevated hospitality programme for the Swiss watchmaker’s guests, growing its offering into international territories. 

Just a week before the start of its 2026 season, LIV Golf has announced Rolex as an Official Partner.

The partnership will focus on delivering an exclusive and elevated hospitality programme for the Swiss watchmaker’s guests, growing its offering into international territories. 

The League becomes part of Rolex’s global sports portfolio, complementing and reinforcing its long-term support of the growth of golf, including partnerships with all major championships in the men’s and women’s game, the PGA TOUR, the DP World Tour, the Asian Tour, the LPGA Tour, and the Ladies European Tour.
 
“Rolex is synonymous with excellence in golf, defined by precision, performance, and a truly global perspective,” said LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil. “This partnership reflects a shared commitment to the game’s comprehensive ecosystem around the world, advancing golf at every level – from amateur development to the highest levels of professional competition. Rolex’s long-standing association with the world’s premier athletes and sports events – across golf, tennis, motor sport and beyond – aligns with LIV Golf’s international roster of talent.” 
 
Arnaud Boetsch, Rolex Director of Communication and Image, said: “For nearly six decades, Rolex has been deeply engaged with the world of golf, supporting the game’s most established events, leading players, governing bodies and grassroots programmes. This partnership with LIV Golf will expand our presence to new locations across the globe for guests with unique experiences, elevated hospitality and special moments with some of the sport’s best players.” 
 
Rolex’s presence in LIV Golf will be anchored in premium hospitality, enabling the Swiss watchmaker to provide enhanced guest experiences in international territories, as well as ensuring wider access to leading players. The League’s calendar allows engagement in new markets, outside of the traditional heartlands of the US and UK, including Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Africa, and Mexico.

The 2026 LIV Golf season will feature 14 events across 10 countries and five continents, beginning with the season opener in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from February 4–7, and comprising the League’s first-ever event in South Africa from March 19–22.
 
LIV Golf’s roster features several Rolex Testimonees competing across different teams in the League, with a number taking on leadership roles as captains, including Bryson DeChambeau, Martin Kaymer, Phil Mickelson, Joaquin Niemann, and Jon Rahm. They are joined by fellow brand ambassadors Thomas Detry, Anirban Lahiri, Carlos Ortiz and Victor Perez.
