Wednesday, August 12th, OMEGA Vice President, Raynald Aeschlimann, and OMEGA brand ambassadors Rory McIlroy and Sergio Garcia hosted a special day to celebrate the Grand Opening of an exhibition celebrating the return of golf to the Olympics, followed by an afternoon of hospitality at the prestigious Whistling Straits Golf Course during the 97th PGA Championship in Kohler, Wisconsin.
As the official timekeeper of over 25 Olympic sports and timekeeper since 1932, OMEGA is excited that golf will return to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio after a 100 year absence.
