Adam Scott has had a career as reliable, you might say, as a trusty-old watch.
Scott, 43, became the first – and remains the only – Australian to have won the Masters in 2013. He’s also reached world No. 1 in 2014 and has competed on the last 10 International Presidents Cup teams. In addition to collecting trophies around the world, Scott has accumulated quite a collection of watches.
“The first Rolex that I ever acquired was perhaps a strange choice for a young kid. It was a pink-gold Day-Date and to this day, it is still such a beautiful watch,” he said. “It was an odd choice for a 21-year-old to pick that but at the same time, a great choice. Every time I put that watch on, I feel really great about it.”
When he won the Masters in 2013, he was presented a Sky-Dweller model with “Masters Champion 2013” inscribed on the back. “That’s such a special watch to me because of what it stood for,” he said.
His other favorite? “The one that I was wearing when I was presented the Green Jacket at the Masters in 2013 which was a Sea-Dweller Deep-Sea. When I see that in pictures and at home, it triggers quite an emotional response,” said Scott, who is pictured below wearing the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40.
As we approach the 88th edition of the Masters, Scott participated in a wide-ranging Q&A through his partnership with Rolex that touches on his memories from winning the Masters in 2013, his favorite Masters moment and his iconic winning photo.
