They usually strap on their sponsor's watch for photo ops after they finish up. With that being said, yeah, it's definitely ok to golf with your watch on.

I think it depends on how well you golf.

If you routinely take six-inch deep divots, then maybe it's more risky than it would be for your typical pro.

He needs to move a link from one side to the other.

He backed it up with a 64 in round 2.
He does need a proper fitting on that bracelet...

He uses that watch to give the swing additional momentum. That's the way Hans W. meant it to be. If you do the same with a Richard Mille your score will immediately jet to 98. Rolex rocks the world.

Should the clasp with the rolex logo be in the middle of your wrist?

Not sure, the current set up with the clasp so inside looks like it would promote a draw, so one link would probably just straighten it out.

He plays a fade...lol.
He will win back to back in Hawaii. Great start to 2017 for one of the most talented young players out there.

I feel naked without my watch when playing 18. I use the weight to counter my slice!!! Six inch divots try 8 my friend and the many lost balls, but I still have fun out there on the course. Cold beers what else can a person ask for besides good friends LOL

agree that he desperately needs a link moved from one side to the other. That would bother me to no end.

No objections, I believe you are right as to the model he is wearing..
He certainly needs someone to adjust that bracelet though, as most have already pointed out.
Just think how much better he would play if the watch was centered and balanced.

It is safe to wear a Rolex on the golf course. After all, golf is all about timing. AM.

It is safe but the shocks repeatedly are not that good for the watch apparently.
